Kevin Maguire: Boris Johnson back in power on Friday 13th is our worst nightmare


Imagine waking up on Friday the 13th to Boris Johnson back in Downing Street.

Imagine another five years of miserable Tory austerity, schools run down and our precious NHS denied life-saving injections.

Imagine the nasty smugness of a hypocrite refusing to reveal how many kids he’s fathered as Universal Credit crushes low-income “loser” families in or out of work.

The polls are closing and maybe the anti-Tory majority is starting to contemplate widespread tactical voting to avoid getting out of bed on Friday the 13th to discover the colossal charlatan has lied his way into power.

I grasp why many traditional Labour voters are feeling wary of Jeremy Corbyn – until the choice is jaundiced Johnson.

Labour’s programme for real change is a game-changer compared to the prospect of more thin gruel from the Tories.

This race isn’t over until nudging 30 million votes are cast and counted.

Friday week will either be either an exciting fresh start or despair.

You decide.
