Boris Johnson has burst on to the General Election campaign stage declaring that Theresa May will "pull it off" in Brexit negotiations.

After claims that some Cabinet ministers want the Prime Minister to sideline him, the Foreign Secretary has made a powerful speech praising her leadership.

In his first major intervention in the campaign, at the Lord Mayor's Banquet in the City of London, Mr Johnson strongly endorsed Mrs May's Brexit strategy.

He also praised the Prime Minister's leadership in the war on terror and attacked Jeremy Corbyn's stance on nuclear weapons, tackling terrorists and airstrikes in Syria.

Writing in the Sun, Mr Johnson urges voters not to feel sorry for "mutton-headed old mugwump" Mr Corbyn and claims he poses an extreme danger to the country.

In the most savage Tory assault yet on the 67-year-old Opposition Leader, he suggests voters may see Mr Corbyn's "meandering and nonsensical" performances and be tempted to feel "a terrible twinge of human compassion".

But he says the Labour leader's long record as a peace campaigner and his anti-military stances actually mean "the consequences would be calamitous" if he ever became Prime Minister.

"Have you ever thought the Leader of the Opposition is an essentially benign Islingtonian herbivore?" the Foreign Secretary writes. "Have you felt a pang of sympathy for his plight? If so, fight it.

"The biggest risk with Jeremy Corbyn is that people just don't get what a threat he really is."
