Welcome to the world of fake news, Mr K. No need to call out the Conservative Party - they are all at it. You know what they say, fight fire with fire.

Yes, I saw that.
Additionally, the Telegraph has reported today that a Savanta ComRes survey found that more than a third (36 per cent) of Labour 2017 voters and 29 per cent of current Labour voters say they like the party but not the leader, while two in five (42 per cent) Lib Dem voters like Labour but not Mr Corbyn. While Mr Corbyn seems to be holding Labour back, Mr Johnson is adding value to the Tories. One in ten (11 per cent) of those intending to vote Conservative said they liked him, but not the Conservative Party – suggesting he has single-handedly brought in 11 per cent of the Conservative’s current voter group.
So much for those who didn't think Boris would be a popular choice with the electorate. I told you he would be - you heard it here first!
Incidentally, I think he will be even more popular by election day, particularly if Corbyn comes up with more spending pledges and more false claims about what the Conservatives plan to do when elected.
What these polls can't predict, of course, is how many voters will stay at home. Given Corbyn's standing with Labour supporters, it would not be surprising if a lot of his dissillusioned members stayed at home rather than vote for another party. That will increase Boris's lead still further.

We know the Labour Party would sink us into huge debt if they tried to implement all their promises.
Boris's spending plans are much more modest, and while the means of paying for what he has promised may not have been specified, he has pledged to stick within Sajid's spending rules. I dare say they are expecting to be able to get more tax receipts in with the Brexit bounce and the end to uncertainty.
