Boris has been to vote - but hasn`t voted for himself 

No, I`m not making this up and is not fake news...

Scottish Daily Record [online] has reported:

Boris Johnson didn't vote for himself

Boris Johnson has not voted for himself on polling day after registering to vote in Westminster rather than his own marginal London constituency.

The Prime Minister broke with a tradition set by his recent predecessors and voted at Methodist Central Hall, near Downing Street, at around 8.15am. Incumbents of Number 10 have in the past voted in the constituency they lived in while serving as an MP.

He opted to vote in central London despite a heavy tactical voting campaign to oust him from his own Uxbridge and South Ruislip seat.

Johnson took the seat with a 5,034 majority at the snap election two years ago but pro-European Union campaigners have urged Remainers to unite behind Labour’s Ali Milani in a bid to topple the former London mayor this time round.

If the exit polls are anything to go by, this will be a landslide for the Conservatives and the worst result for Labour In 50+ years!!
