Flickr/Centre for American Progress, CC BY-ND 2.0In a tirade against Jeremy Corbyn in The Sun on 26 April 2017, Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson asserted that the Labour leader’s,

“ardent anti-military stances actually mean ‘the consequences would be calamitous’ if he ever gets the keys to No 10”.

And he went on to say that the Labour Party leader would pose “an enormous threat to our country if he gets into No 10”. Likewise, Defence Secretary Michael Fallon told BBC Today listeners on 11 May 2017 that the Labour leader “would be a very dangerous leader of our country” if he became Prime Minister.
