‘People Have Died Because Of Austerity’ – Boris Johnson Lambasted For Having ‘The Cheek’ To Visit Doncaster

“Well actually, we’re putting a lot of investment into public services,” Johnson hit back, as some of the PM’s supporters chanted “We’ll be alright” in the background. 

But the woman was not done, accusing the government of having “drained Doncaster”. 

“Doncaster have had no funds from central government,” she told Johnson. 

“Every year there’s less money for Doncaster, and you have the cheek to come here.” 

Doncaster is actually one of the places set to benefit from the government’s £3.6 billion fund to regenerate towns – just one of Johnson’s de-facto general election promises. 

But it would seem that the PM is struggling to get the message across to voters… 

It marks yet another very public heckling for the prime minister during his tour of the country.
