BORIS Johnson is flexing his Trumpian credentials yet again – though his remarks might well be set to backfire.

The Prime Minister is battling to save his job with a confidence vote looming, much as Donald Trump had to after losing the US election, when he turned to every trick in the book in a bid to remain as president.

Now, according to The Times, Johnson has been endlessly repeating the word “Onwards!” to rally his Tory troops, and one senior adviser said: “He’s making very clear that they’ll have to send a Panzer division to get him out of there.”

That remark has been met with a flurry of comparisons to Trump’s refusal to exit the White House – with it seeming like the Secret Service would need to physically remove him.

Though perhaps saying the Panzer tanks would be needed to drag him out wasn’t the smartest move from Johnson, given who his political rivals are.

Ruth Davidson has of late, with her future secure as a Baroness in the House of Lords, called for the PM to stand down.

Meanwhile, Liz Truss is one of the frontrunners to replace him in a leadership election.

And there’s nothing they love more than a photoshoot with a tank…

Douglas Ross would probably be up for providing the armoured division some support, too, if he can find time away from his various other jobs.

Don’t just take Boris’s word for all this, though, as we know what that’s worth.

There is not “a chance in hell” that Boris Johnson will stand down voluntarily, according to Tory peer Gavin Barwell.

Barwell served as chief of staff to Theresa May and now sits in the House of Lords.

He said there was a “strong case for change” at the top of the UK Government, but that Johnson would not leave office of his own accord.

Speaking on Sky’s Trevor Phillips On Sunday, Barwell said: “My inclination is that the Conservative Party would be better making a change and I also think, for the good of the country in terms of trust and faith in our politics, there’s a strong case for change.

“But it’s not up to me to make a decision. Ultimately, this is a decision that, up until the next election at least, is one for Conservative MPs.”

He added: “I don’t think there’s a chance in hell that the Prime Minister is going to voluntarily resign.

“He’s going to stay there unless Conservative MPs remove him or unless he loses an election. And so, you know, I don’t see any prospect of him voluntarily standing down.”

There is one way Scotland could get rid of Johnson, though … a Yes vote.
