BORIS Johnson has been cheered and whooped by NHS staff today as he visited a hospital to announce a major funding boost.
The PM got an incredible reception and a huge round of applause as he stopped to chat to nurses and patients at the Princess Alexandra Hospital in Harlow.

He shook hands with several staff and patients on his walkabout and Brits were delighted to see him.
One said: “Well done Boris!” and another added: “You’re doing a great job!”
Another said they had been waiting to see him as they were at the hospital for their appointment.
Brits were taking selfies and filming the PM on their phones as he strolled through the hospital.
Boris tweeted this morning: “A great morning meeting people at Princess Alexandra Hospital today. Amazing staff. Love #OurNHS.”
The positive reception shows that Boris’ reputation hasn’t been damaged with many ordinary Brits despite the damning Supreme Court ruling earlier this week.
His reception, which will delight No10, comes just days after Boris was confronted by an angry parent on his last visit to a hospital.
Labour activist Omar Salem took the Prime Minister to task, saying the NHS was being “destroyed” while his little girl was being treated at the children’s unit in Whipps Cross Hospital.
Meanwhile, a fresh poll for Jeremy Corbyn to be installed as a caretaker PM to wreckBrexit is being drummed up by the SNP today.
The Scottish National Party are prepared to let the lefie Labour boss walk into No10 so he could extend Article 50 – because the party is worried Boris Johnson will find a way to push Britain out of the EU without a deal.
The PM has vowed to deliver Brexit on October 31 no matter what – despite a law which was passed saying he would have to seek a delay if he couldn’t get a deal.
SNP boss Nicola Sturgeon said this morning: “VONC (Vote of No Confidence), opposition unites around someone for sole purpose of securing an extension, and then immediate general election.
“Nothing is risk free but leaving Johnson in post to force through no deal – or even a bad deal – seems like a terrible idea for me.”
However, the two parties would have to get the Liberal Democrats or other MPs on board to help push a vote of no confidence in Boris over the line, and to get enough MPs together to form a temporary coalition.
At the moment there is little prospect of Lib Dem boss Jo Swinson agreeing to put Corbyn into No10.
Some of the 34 independent MPs may be willing to get them across the line – but most of them are former Tories and unlikely to back them.
Only with the help of them are they likely to succeed.
Last night ex-PM Sir John Major suggested that Boris may use an order of council to delay the implementation of the Benn Act.
Sir John said last night: “It is important to note that an Order of Council can be passed by Privy Councillors – that is Government Ministers – without involving HM The Queen. I should warn the Prime Minister that – if this route is taken – it will be in flagrant defiance of Parliament and utterly disrespectful to the Supreme Court.
“It would be a piece of political chicanery that no-one should ever forgive or forget.”
But Government sources played down the idea as “nonsense”.
