Labour’s John McDonnell threatens to tell Queen ‘we’re taking over’ and send Corbyn to her in a cab if BoJo loses no-confidence vote


HARD-LEFT firebrand John McDonnell last night threatened to drag the Queen into a constitutional crisis over Brexit.

The Shadow Chancellor said Labour would “take over” if Boris Johnson refused to quit in the wake of a no confidence vote.

And his party would send leader Jeremy Corbyn to Buckingham palace “in a cab”.

He also threatened to jail Tory MPs over benefits cuts if the party ever comes to power.

McDonnell said: “I don’t want to drag the Queen into this but I would be sending Jeremy Corbyn in a cab to Buckingham Palace to say we’re taking over.”

Former Tory leader Iain ­Duncan Smith told the Daily Telegraph: “They will effectively arrive toting their guns. It’s ­basically a coup.”

Mr McDonnell was last night quizzed over his threat to jail Tories after previously declaring: “One day, I warn you, we will try them.”

Pressed at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival by host Iain Dale on what law he might use to prosecute them, he replied: “I might want to invent it.”

Tory MP and party vice chairman Paul Scully responded: “It comes as little surprise McDonnell wants to invent laws to silence opponents.

“This is a man with a sinister history, who has called for a female MP to be lynched, ‘direct action’ against opposing MPs and praised the bombs and ­bullets of the IRA.”
