The Prime Minister – who turned up 15 minutes late to the hotly-anticipated interview – did not seem prepared for the ITV presenter’s ruthless questioning and constant interjections.

In one calamitous moment, Johnson was asked about Elsie, a 77-year-old pensioner who has been forced to ride around on buses all day to keep warm so she does not have to pay for heating back home.
