'Only 24 more Tory MPs needed' to trigger no confidence vote in Boris Johnson

Boris Johnson once gave a shocking answer which left football fans feeling slightly uneasy over which team he supports.The Prime Minster has been in the firing line in recent weeks after it emerged that a series of 'parties' were held by the Conservative Party while the country was under strict restrictions.But the controversial politician may have divided the population further with a bizarre claim during the middle of his second term as Mayor of London back in 2015.When asked what his footballing allegiances were, fence-sitter Johnson stated he had no favourites and was rooting for every club across the capital.He said: "I support all of the London teams," before adding his children support Newcastle United. While clearly a diplomatic response to keep fans of various clubs on-side in his political endeavours, Johnson’s answer comes as a surprise given the deep rivalries between London clubs.Such a statement would be inexplicable to die-hard West Ham fans who share a bitter and long-standing rivalry with Millwall.Do you think supporting two rival clubs is a disgrace?
