The Mayor of London wished David Cameron a happy birthday, before replying to the Prime Minister’s earlier comment that Boris Johnson was a “blonde haired mop” with the retort that Mr Cameron is “a broom that is cleaning up the mess left by the Labour government”.
Mr Johnson continued with the cleaning analogy to the laughter and applause of delegates to the Conservative Party Conference.
“I congratulate you and your colleagues George Osborne the dustpan, Michael Gove the J-cloth, William Hague the sponge. It is the historic function of Conservative governments over the last 100 years to be the household implements on the floor of the house, so effective at clearing up after the Labour binge has got out of control.”
