Johnson has the smallest majority of any sitting UK Prime Minister in nearly 100 years.

Image: PA Image: PA BORIS JOHNSON IS defending a majority of 5,034 in Uxbridge and South Ruislip in Thursday’s election, the smallest of any sitting UK Prime Minister since 1924.

Robert Hazell, professor of politics at University College London, used the example of Sir Alec Douglas Home, who led the country from 1963-1964. Prof Hazell said it is “harder to answer the question how politically acceptable that might be nowadays”.
