Boris Johnson: ‘The Gloves Are off and Playtime Is Over’

EXCERPT:

JOHNSON: “The right honorable gentleman asked about trust and who can you trust to run — how can they — how on Earth he asks about Iran, Mr. Speaker? The honorable gentleman has been paid by Press TV of Iran, who repeatedly sides with the Mullahs of Tehran rather than our friends in the United States over what is happening in the Persian Gulf. How incredible we should even think of entrusting that gentleman with the stewardship of this country’s security. But worse than that, by far, Mr. Speaker, is the right honorable gentleman who set all the economic policies together with the shadow chancellor who was sacked by Ken Livingstone for being too left wing. Sacked for fabricating a budget. He was, he forced a budget. Sacked for forging a budget. He would raise taxes on inheritance, Mr. Speaker, he would raise taxes on pensions. I am answering! I am telling you. The Right Honorable Gentleman wouldn’t only put up taxes on inheritance and pensions and corporations he would put up taxes on income to 50 percent.”
