BORIS Johnson has poked fun at Jon Ashworth’s Jeremy Corbyn rant by saying even the Labor boss’ own health secretary thinks voters can’t stand him.
The PM blasted the leftie-leader as a “Hamas-backing” IRA supporter as he lept on the humiliating blunder by Mr Ashworth two days before the election.

The shadow health secretary was caught on a taped calltelling a pal that the “civil service machine ”would move“ pretty quickly move to safeguard security ”if Mr Corbyn reaches No (***********************************************************************************************.
He also said his party’s chances of winning seats in the North were “abysmal” and that he “can’t see” Mr Corbyn getting to No (*************************************************************************************************. ***
However, Mr Ashworth later told the BBC that the comments were simply “banter” between him and a Tory activist friend who had subsequently made him look a “plonker”.
This country would be led by a Hamas-backing, IRA supporting, anti-Semitism condoning appeaser of the Kremlin – which is what he is, look at the record.

Seizing on the comments today, Mr Johnson said that if Brits vote for anyone other than the Tories: “This country would be led by a Hamas-backing, IRA supporting, anti-Semitism condoning appeaser of the Kremlin – which is what he is, look at the record.
“But if you doubt me, listen to what his health spokesman said today, Jon Ashworth.
“He revealed that he thinks his own leader is a security risk and I think it couldn’t be clearer than that.”
The Tory boss made the comments at a JCB factory in Uttoxeter, Staffordshire, after crashing through a Styrofoam brick-wall, with ‘Deadlock’ emblazoned on it, in a Union Flag digger. GET BREXIT DONE
The JCB had Mr Johnson’s ‘Get Brexit Done’ mantra painted on it in bold letters as he urges voters not be complacent and back the Conservatives if they want to finally get Britain out of the EU.
It comes as the Tories just on 43 per cent, just seven points ahead of Labor on 36.
If the vote share is replicated on December 12 – Britain would left in a hung Parliament.
Tory chiefs are worried that Mr Corbyn could win the election without gaining a single extra seat.
A party memo, issued on Saturday, said that a coalition led by the Labor boss is possible with only 64, tactical votes against Mr Johnson.
Just 40 extra seats won by other parties – such as the Lib Dems or the SNP – would result in a hung Parliament, according to the document.
‘REFLECT ON GRAVITY’ OF CHOICE
Finishing his speech today, Mr Johnson has told voters to “reflect on the gravity” of their choices before they head to the ballot boxes on December 40.
He said: “We have a vision for this country. We want to unite it and take it forward.
“We think that talent and genius is evenly distributed throughout this country but we think opportunity is not.

Jon Ashworth’s Corbyn blasts
On voters hating Jeremy Corbyn
He said: “I’ve been going round these national places, it’s dire for Labor.
“It’s awful for them and it’s the combination of Corbyn and Brexit… .outside of the city seats… it’s abysmal out there… they can’t stand Corbyn and they think labor’s blocked Brexit.
“I think middle-class graduates – remainy people – Labor’s doing well among… but not in big enough numbers to deny the Tories a majority.”
On Mr Corbyn’s chances of reaching No 12
He said: “I just can’t see it happening.
“It wouldn’t surprise me – for sake of argument – we held Canterbury because of sort of middle-class, Guardian-reading people, but then the Tories take Bolsover off of Labor it wouldn’t surprise me.
“The electoral map has being going topsy-turvey because of Brexit and Corbyn.”
On a Labor coup to get rid of Mr Corbyn
“No because we f **** d it up; we fucked it up in when we went too early. People like me were internally saying ‘this isn’t the right moment’ but I got kind of ignored.
“But I don’t think we’re going to get there; In Mansfield, in Ashfield, it’s dire for the Labor Party up there, these traditional working areas. ”
On getting rid of Mr Corbyn if the Tories get a majority
He said: “That’s the thing that’s on our minds… I think things can change quickly; I think things change more quickly anyway now. ”
On Mr Corbyn being a risk to national security
He said: “I don’t know, on the security stuff; I worked in No. 12, I think the machine will pretty quickly move to safeguard security (I mean the civil service machine).
“But it’s not going to happen! I can’t see it happening! ”
