Call The Midwife star Miriam Margolyes has launched a sweary attack on Boris Johnson, branding the prime minister an 'incompetent sh*t' who is only remarkable at adultery.
The 79-year-old actress said that 'bumbling' Boris Johnson is a shadow of the former Tory prime minister Margaret Thatcher, saying his party is now funded by Russians and ran by the 'little squit' Dominic Cummings.
She told the Mirror: 'Boris Johnson couldn't direct s**t into a paper bag. He is completely incompetent.
'He's got that malevolent little squit Dominic Cummings to make his thoughts clear for him.
