The Labour leader’s choice of adjective, derived from an old con, seems fitting in our age of false Brexit promises

This week Jeremy Corbyn called Alexander Boris de Pfeffel Johnson a “fake populist and phoney outsider”. It was unclear what he meant by “fake populist”, since populists are always fakes in their pretence of caring about the people. Strictly, a “fake populist” should be someone who poses as a populist but is actually a thoughtful and ethical leader, which is probably not what Corbyn meant.

Labor must have a better leadership, but a PM elected by the party itself, it is called hypocrisy not democracy. The Lies who does not see is equal to a blind who does not whant to see, I call dumb.

Good old Boris.

😂 sorry but when you talk about phoniness jeremycorbyn is top of the list and his tenure backs that up

A politician is good with words. Wow.

Corbyn is the greatest phoney of them all. 🙄🙄🙄

That was the sole reason I voted leave, cause of that slogan on that bus, he wants, and his criminal friends, hanging for lying to the public. Twat, love meet him on the street.

How can the British people fall for this phoney. Are we that dumbed down where we are like the yanks supporting Trump. Populists prey on people’s prejudices normally racism and nationalism and Johnson has exploited this. Economic privation enables this.

I know why y'all don't like mirrors; what with them teeth an all, but you might want to invest in some larger ones. Youknowatimsayin?

A bit like being anti EU your entire career then trying to walk it back in order to grab power. This kind of hypocrisy has been noted and will be reflected in the next general election!

Betty Boothroyd called him a charlatan “a person falsely claiming to have a special knowledge or skill. Example 'a self-confessed con artist and charlatan'

Who is PM?

Says Maoist fossil

Corbyn is a fake Fabien Society establishment stooge...

Wow. Jeremy Corbyn called Boris Johnson a 'phoney'. Best leader of the opposition in living memory.

Another negative tweet by JC, why doesn’t he admit that Bojo has done more for British Politics in the last 6 months than ANY of the previous administrations..a breath of fresh air

He should know one. He is too.

Wasn’t difficult for jeremycorbyn to identify a phoney; he sees one in the mirror frequently. Need rid of him as much as we need rid of that pillock Johnson.

I can't believe someone got paid for this throwaway paragraph about the etymology of the word 'phoney'.

Is Jeremy Corbyn the one that hates Jews?

Neither is credible.

Jeremy Corbyn is the ‘phoney’ and the fact is he’s finished. Boris is wiping the floor with him.
