Boris Johnson: Elite? I went to the same primary school as Ed Miliband
The Mayor of London has jumped to the Prime Minster’s defence during a Q&A in which the Tories were accused of being all the same sort of people who went to the same schools and have links with banking families.
Boris Johnson, who is from Primrose Hill in North London, tells the crowd that he went to the same primary school as Ed Miliband, the leader of the Labour party.
“You might as well talk about the sinister grip of Primrose Hill primary school on British politics. I don’t think the British public care about where you come from, what they care about what you are saying to the country and how you are going to take it forward”, he adds.
Mr Johnson went on to study at Eton and Oxford University with David Cameron. Ed Miliband went on to Haverstock school in Chalk Farm, north London and then to Oxford.
