Thousands of people on Twitter have called for the UK to ‘Boo for Boris’ on Tuesday night as they grow tired of the Prime Minister’s leadership.
The social media users took to Twitter after Sunday’s press conference to propose a mass booing of Boris Johnson on Tuesday evening.
The protest, which mirrors the weekly Clap for Carers, comes as Boris Johnson said Dominic Cummings “acted responsibly, legally and with integrity” by travelling to County Durham during lockdown.

"Boris: "are they booing me?"
"Cummings: "No, they're saying Boooooo-ris boooooo-ris” #booforboris"
However, not everyone agreed that the Prime Minister should be booed.

It was made clear during the campaign what he was like and yet he got a huge majority.
Don’t now get upset when he does what he has always done!
Don’t #booforboris just vote him out next time!!!!
