Labour party strategists believe that Prime Minister Boris Johnson will energise their supporters and propel Jeremy Corbyn into Downing Street.
Boris Johnson won the race to become prime minister with a pledge to take on and defeat opposition Labour Party leader Jeremy Corbyn.

Corbyn's supporters believe Johnson is a divisive figure who will energise Labour's metropolitan base. However, Johnson believes Corbyn is an unreconstructed left-winger who can be easily beaten.
