Boris Johnson was yelled at in the streets by a disgruntled Leeds voter who told him to leave the city and get on with negotiating Brexit.

The PM taken to task while being interviewed by the BBC’s Laura Kuenssberg on his bruising week in the House of Commons.

He was accosted by a man who reprimanded him for ‘playing games’ with his political rivals instead of negotiating a new Brexit deal.

In video footage the man can be heard telling the PM: ‘You should be in Brussels negotiating. You are not. You are in Morley in Leeds.’

Boris appeared lost for words by the exchange, which happened moments after stepping onto Leeds High Street.

He told the man: ‘What I think people want us to do, is to leave the European Union on October 31.’

In another interaction, a local gave Mr Johnson a pat on the back as he told him, ‘Please leave my town.’

The Prime Minister brushed it off with a chuckle and replied, ‘I will very soon’.

But his rivals weren’t so quick to let it go and shard the video with #PleaseLeaveMyTown, which began trending on Twitter.

Labour MP and Shadow justice secretary Richard Burgon tweeted: ‘When two worlds collide – straight talking Yorkshire meets Bullingdon bluster! #PleaseLeaveMyTown.’

The Prime Minister made the journey to Leeds after a humiliating day which saw his own brother, Remainer MP Jo Johnson, quit the Tory party.

He said he was ‘torn between family loyalty and the national interest’ and that he felt an ‘unresolvable tension.’
