The prime minister has jettisoned traditional Tory values in a bid for voters of all persuasions, says Guardian columnist Simon Jenkins

There is no Conservative manifesto. There is just a Boris Johnson manifesto. As he rollicked round the stage in Telford on Sunday, the prime minister had only one message to the electorate: whatever your supposed party loyalty, forget it. Vote me. I will promise you anything. We both know I don’t mean it, but you will still love me for it.

If Boris looses,then it's no more brexit..like there was never a REAL reason!

Well, where is the difference ? A manifesto full of tories.

Jenkins shows his true colours: 'It is on Johnson the pledge-breaking pragmatist that Britain must now rely.' Absolutely not. There are other choices we can make.

Should be even more popular then.

Johnson manifesto

Boris is a one-man-band narcissist and blatant self publicist - who lies but believes his own hyperbole. He is so rich he is not on anybody’s level and therefore more dangerous than any Tory politician I have witnessed. I deplored/detested Thatcher but this man is beyond reproach

The Guardian isn’t a news organisation. It’s just politically motivated, left leaning biased opinion

Just like Farage, when he says ‘we’ he means ‘I’. That’s shocking isn’t it?

It's because the Tories are not controlled by Momentum or the Unions.

Boris Johnson's main election pledge debunked within minutes of his manifesto launchIt doesn't look like Boris Johnson’s main manifesto pledge of 50,000 new nurses is actually true. That's not what the BBC will say. They also promised to built 40 new hospitals...but it turns out they are refurbishing 6 hospitals and consulting on future hospitals which they anticipate to be 34...what you get after 10 years is construction plans (if it gets there) of these hospitals...none will be built I suggest BorisJohnson pledges 5000 bursaries for Tory politicians to study ethics, humility, listening & mathematics.
