A Tory MP who appeared to 'give protesters outside Downing Street the middle finger' has been made education minister

Outgoing Prime Minister Boris Johnson has been reshuffling his top team in an attempt to plug the gaps left by over 50 resignations in the past three days.

Another controversial appointment is that of Peter Bone, a right-wing Brexiteer who has previously spoken of his opposition to same-sex marriage and, most recently, told LBC he put himself into the "pro-life" category.Mr Bone has now been made the new deputy leader of the House of Commons.His appointment has also triggered anger, not least because the role has been unfilled since 2018.

"Peter Bone as a Minister shows that Boris Johnson is not yet finished stuffing his team with loony nodding dogs," wrote one Twitter user.Another said: "Boris Johnson has basically invented a job for Peter Bone."

👏👏

Charming! Such a role model. I bet her family is so proud!!!

Fish finger?

Coarse…….

About right for the sewer politics of the Tory party

She's not just let me down, let the crowd down but she's let herself down....

This is the attitude of those in government, so it’s no surprise this country is as messed up as it is.

Oh no! Not a middle finger 😂😂😂

Bec2043 Corruption is destroying Britain even faster than expected.

I can only assume it 'appeared' that way as that's exactly what she done 🙈

Gutter trash andreajenkyns

She’ll be out on her arse soon but when most of them get punted by the new PM they all get 4 month severance pay, absolutely shocking

Appeared 😂😂😂😂

👍👏

She is just practicing fingers on lips

Shows the calibre of your average Tory MP. Get the bastards out! GTTO

martinBurke12 She didn’t appear to she did

get these gargoyles out of public discourse now, not worthy, especially in education

Patrici89225734 Appeared? andreajenkyns doesn’t appear to be flipping the public off, she actually is!

Sums up Tories 4u

SpudFromDublin Boris taking revenge. See also Peter Bone's appointment as Deputy Leader of the House. What's next, perhaps Boris will have an epiphany and realise that he is pro-life and has a mission to bring in an across the board abortion ban?

Anyone that resigned shouldn’t be allowed to go for the job as prime minister

Sort of a perfect summary of this governments attitude to those they are supposed to serve andreajenkyns

Was probably remoaners they don't count as human go girl 👍

Protestors = unwashed = lefties 👌

I think you will find she is saying education is her number 1 priority

In a decent regime she would be sacked….but with this shower she could be PM

Sensitive souls these protesters.....

No allegedly or appeared ....she did....

Her teaching school kids “Miss, what is 2 Minus 1?” andreajenkyns response.

And Angela Raynor calls people SCUM LBC hypocrisy

Yet another toxic Cabinet had been formed. Nothing will change while that man is in power

🙄🤦🏻‍♂️ you might as well make Ali g a politician 🤦🏻‍♂️

What a Total and utter disgrace this cabinet is turning out to be…

Sake them all

Should we expect anything less from the Tories?

Gets my vote.

Excellent.

Sounds perfect
