John Bercow has slammed Boris Johnson as a ‘habitual liar’ and claimed he is the worst Prime Minister he has lived through ‘by a country mile’.

The former Speaker of the House of Commons made the comments during an appearance on Good Morning Britain.

He said: “The person who is in charge of the ship is regarded as a serial dissembler, as an habitual liar, as somebody who has made his career through ducking and dodging and diving and dissembling and deceiving people.

“I’m sorry to say it but I’ve known 12 Prime Ministers in my lifetime and by a country mile Boris Johnson is the worst.

“His natural instinct is not to be open, not to be transparent, not to be accountable, but narcissistically to think ‘What suits me, how can I extricate myself from this awkward situation, by what means can I arrogate blame somewhere else?’”

Bercow went on to say Mr Johnson ‘stinks in the nostrils of decent people’.

He said: “This is way below the standard that the British public are entitled to expect and when people say ‘well isn’t it important that we focus on the big issues rather than wallpaper or the cost of the flat?’ I suppose the answer to that is this.

“If there isn’t a basic level of trust in the most senior minister in the government, it’s very difficult to operate a democratic polity at all. That’s the problem.

“This guy stinks in the nostrils of decent people.”

Many viewers rushed to Twitter to praise Bercrow for ‘telling it like it is’.

One wrote: “John Bercrow telling it like it is on GMB. Dishonest Johnson.”

“John Bercow’s assessment of @BorisJohnson on @GMB today was both accurate and damning in equal measure,” added another. “He has got to go, before this country does!”
