Labour councillor reveals plan to ‘topple Boris Johnson’ by stealing his seat

A Labour councillor standing for election has already unveiled his plan to ‘topple’ new Prime Minister Boris Johnson.

Ali Milani has launched a crowdfunding campaign in hopes that he will be elected as MP for Uxbridge and South Ruislip – which is Johnson’s constituency.

If Johnson lost his seat, he would longer an elected member of Parliament, meaning the party would have to select a different leader.

Writing on his gofundme page, Mr Milani declared that ‘people like him’ are not ‘meant to become MPs’.

He continued: ‘My family travelled to the UK when I was just five years old. I grew up on a council estate, with a single parent who spoke little English, struggling to make ends meet.

‘I don’t have the billionaire backers Boris does. But we have something much more powerful: each other.

If we all chip in we can win and make history by running the first campaign the UK has ever seen to topple the Prime Minister.

‘Any donation, large or small, will make a huge impact. From the leaflets we deliver, the community events we run to our reach on social media.

‘Together, we can help get our constituency, our country, the respect it deserves – and wrestle its fate from people like Boris.

‘We can’t keep asking to be heard – when they won’t listen. It’s time for us to lead.’

Mr Milani, who is currently Heathrow Villages Councillor, has set his crowdfunding target for £5,000, all of which will go towards his campaign.

In the last 24 hours he has managed to raise £364 from a total of 21 donations.

One supporter commented: ‘Unseat is my favourite word, made more delightful when applied to Boris Johnson.’

While another added: ‘We have to work together for peace, equality and love!’

Today Johnson was officially sworn in as prime minister, before delivering a speech in front of Number 10 Downing Street.

The new leader has already vowed to ‘restore trust in democracy’ and served a message to the ‘doomsters’ who have negative predictions for the UK’s departure from the EU.

He said: ‘We will come out on 31 October, no ifs and no buts. We will do a new deal and a better deal.

‘The British people are tired of waiting. The time has come to act.’
