THE words most associated with Boris Johnson by members of the public have been revealed as part of a new poll.

Around 2000 people responded to the survey, by JL Partners, asking what they think of the Prime Minister. Nearly a quarter (72%) of words were negative, and just 16% were positive.

The following words came up most frequently: Liar, Idiot, untrustworthy, resign, buffoon and dishonest.

Other common words included: Bumbling, corrupt, lying, mistakes, embarrassment, awful and clown.

James Johnson, a former Downing Street pollster who co-founded JL Partners, revealed some fuller quotes from respondents as he revealed the word cloud.

“He needs to be fired from his current role PM. He has broken so many covid rules and ain’t playing a part with helping the people with their bills and high cost living,” one respondent told the polling firm.

“I was confident in Boris and think he did an ok job throughout the pandemic but I’m very disappointed in the actions over lockdown parties,” another added. “I didn’t want to see him go but I fear there is no other option now due to the recent revelations and fines.”

“Unprintable. I have always voted Conservative but this Prime minister is a disgrace in so many ways,” a further voter said.

Pollster James Johnson said the results show that partygate dominates the public's view of the Tory leader.

"Fury has not receded," he said. "Many negative comments are by people who liked him previously but have now changed their minds. When Johnson first took power, only Labour voters would call him a liar. It is now widespread."

This week, Johnson is looking to defend his premiership again as he prepares to insist to MPs there are bigger issues to focus on than the partygate saga.

Despite being fined by the Metropolitan Police for his birthday bash held in the Cabinet room in June 2020, while coronavirus restrictions were in place, the Prime Minister is expected to tell MPs on Tuesday that this should not be the focus of politicians.

Johnson is reported to be preparing to make a statement in the Commons once MPs return to Westminster following the Easter recess.

But it comes after a thinly-veiled reference to standards in politics by one of the Church of England’s most senior clergymen, the Archbishop of York.

Using his Easter sermon on Sunday, Stephen Cottrell urged Britons to ask what sort of country they wanted to live in.

He said: “Do we want to be known for the robustness of our democracy, where those in public life live to the highest standards, and where we can trust those who lead us to behave with integrity and honour?”

The Times reported that Johnson was set to focus on Ukraine, the cost-of-living crisis, and a trip to India which will focus on defence and trade.

As well as addressing MPs in the Chamber, the newspaper reported Johnson would speak to a meeting of the entire Conservative parliamentary party on Tuesday evening.
