Boris Johnson's election campaign has been littered with accusations of racism, sexism and fake news.

Comments made by the Prime Minister in columns during his time as editor of The Spectator have been unearthed - revealing derogatory remarks made about single mothers, Nigerians and women who wear burkas.

Some voters have even complained to the Electoral Commission about the Tory campaign after it emerged postal voters had received 'begging letters' from Boris Johnson along with their ballot packs.

Some receiving the letters said they found the tactic "troubling".

Now, the Labour Party have compiled a list of questions for Boris Johnson to answer - including everything from his NHS pledges, Johnson's relationship with American businesswoman Jenifer Arcuri and exactly where is Jacob Rees-Mogg ?

Here is the full list of questions Boris must answer before voters head to the polls:

On his sexism:

Do you still think that the way to deal with advice from a female colleague is to “just pat her on the bottom and send her on her way”? Do you still think that children of single mothers are ill-raised, ignorant, aggressive and illegitimate? Do you still think unmarried women who have children should be pushed into “destitution on a Victorian scale”? Do you still think a man should “take control of his woman”? Why have you never voted in favour of protecting women’s reproductive rights? Isn’t your criticism of single mothers and what you appallingly describe as “illegitimate” children hypocritical?

On his racism:

Why won’t you apologise for describing black people as “piccanninies” with “watermelon smiles”? Do you feel any shame for the 375% rise in Islamophobic hate crime linked to the article you wrote that called Muslim women “bank robbers” and “letterboxes”? Why as editor of the Spectator did you approve an article which argued that black people have lower IQs and an article in which the author boasted of being “an antisemite”? Why won’t you order an independent inquiry specifically into Islamophobia in the Conservative party? Will you apologise for saying young people had “an almost Nigerian interest in money”? Do you regret saying that Barack Obama had an “ancestral dislike of the British Empire”?

On his other offensive comments:

Do you still call gay people “tank-topped bumboys”? Do you still think equal marriage is similar to “marrying a dog”? Will you apologise for calling working class men “drunk, criminal, aimless, feckless and hopeless”? Do you still consider the investigation of historical child abuse by the police to be “spaffing money up the wall”? Do you regret saying that the Libyan city of Sirte had a bright future as soon as they "clear the dead bodies away"? In 2011, when you were being briefed about the cost of inquests into the 7/7 bombings, did you say “f*** the families”?

On his Ministers:

Where is Jacob Rees-Mogg? Do you agree with Jacob Rees-Mogg’s comments that victims of the Grenfell Tower fire lacked “common sense”? Why haven’t you sacked Jacob Rees-Mogg? Why have you appointed an Education Secretary who was sacked for leaking from a National Security Council meeting? Why have you allowed Alun Cairns to stand as a Conservative Party candidate when he was forced to resign for lying about his knowledge of an allegation that a Conservative candidate had sabotaged a rape trial? Was Michael Gove right when he said you can't build a team and can't provide leadership or unity?

On the NHS:

Why did you pull back from legislating to protect the NHS from a US trade deal? Why did you say in the ITV leaders’ debate that allegations of the NHS being on the table in secret talks with the USA were “an absolute invention” and “completely untrue” when official government documents show it is being discussed? If the NHS isn’t being privatised why are private firms given £9.2 billion of the NHS budget? Why did you lie in your party’s manifesto about how many extra nurses you are promising to recruit? Why does the Conservative manifesto offer no extra money for social care when the system is in crisis? Will you apologise to the grandmother who waited three hours on the floor for an ambulance last week?

On Jennifer Arcuri:

Jennifer Arcuri described you as “a really good friend”. Why did you not declare an interest when she was granted public money? Did your office intervene to give Jennifer Arcuri a place on trade missions to Tel Aviv and New York after she was initially told she did not meet the criteria? Did you write Jennifer Arcuri a letter of recommendation to become CEO of Tech City? Do you think it is fair that Jennifer Arcuri is being held to account for allegations of corrupt behaviour by yourself?

On his record:

Have you only lied to the Queen once? When was the last time you spoke to Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe’s husband and what are you personally doing to help secure her release? Do you still support fox hunting? Do you still plan on lying in front of a bulldozer to prevent Heathrow expansion or will you spend another £20,000 of taxpayers’ money to run away from a vote on it? Why do you think you have been sacked from so many jobs? Do you regret wasting £300,000 of taxpayers' money on illegal water cannons?

On climate and the environment:

Do you still think global warming is a “primitive fear without foundation”? Why did you claim you were going to ban fracking when you are actually pausing it temporarily and still considering applications?

On his campaign:

Are you scared of Andrew Neil? Why did you not show up to Channel 4’s climate crisis debate last night? If the BBC empty chair you for bottling an Andrew Neil interview will you review its remit as well? Why did it take so long for you to visit communities in Yorkshire and the Midlands who were affected by flooding, and what does count as a national emergency? Will you suspend the Conservative candidate in Shropshire who yesterday said that his Sikh opponent was "talking through his turban" and strip him of his honour? Why won’t you publish the report into Russian interference in British democracy? Do you support a free and fair press apart from Channel 4 and the Daily Mirror?

On Brexit:

Why does Ann Widdecombe believe she was offered a place on the Brexit negotiating team in return for the Brexit Party standing aside in the election? Do you still disagree with your Brexit Secretary that Northern Irish businesses will need to submit customs declaration forms to export over the Irish Sea? Will you tell President Trump next week that you will never change our food safety rules to allow in US chlorine chickens in a post-Brexit trade deal? Why did you tell the DUP that you would never support any deal that created a regulatory border down the Irish sea and then negotiate one that did just that? Why did you vote for Theresa May’s Brexit deal that you said "wrapped a suicide vest" around the British constitution and "handed the detonator" to Brussels?

On the Conservatives’ record:
