Johnson claims he is a politician who delivers on his promises
Etchingham asks about integrity and strength of character.

Corbyn says it is about bringing people together. Whether you lived in the north or the south, your problems are the same.

Johnson says:

Look at what I said I would do as a politician, and look at what I have delivered.

This a remarkable claim in the light of his failure to meet his “do or die” pledge to deliver Brexit by 31 October.

Q: Does the truth matter in this election?

Johnson replies:

I think it does.

The audience laugh.
