Will the Queen be amused?

BORIS Johnson painted a somewhat questionable likeness of Her Majesty the Queen but was unable to brush off his party’s local election performance after an art class on Friday.

It was back to school for the Prime Minister after what has been described as a difficult night for the Conservatives, as he visited Field End Infant School in his Uxbridge and South Ruislip constituency.

“They left me for dead,” Mr Johnson said, not in a comment on the poll results, but comparing his portrait of the Queen to the efforts of the five and six-year-olds at his table.

The pictures will be used for jubilee celebrations.
