Downing Street today scrambled to dampen anger over Boris Johnson's coal mine gaffe after Tory MPs accused the Prime Minister Boris Johnson of 'spitting in the face' of 'Red Wall' voters. Mr Johnson sparked a furious backlash during a visit to Scotland yesterday after he said the UK got a 'big early start' on going green thanks to Margaret Thatcher closing coal mines in the 1980s. Labour demanded an apology for the 'shameful' comment while Conservative MPs expressed fears that the remark could damage support in former mining communities which only voted Tory for the first time in 2019. The Prime Minister's Official Spokesman has now tried to repair the situation, insisting that Mr Johnson 'recognises the huge impact and pain closing coal mines had in communities across the UK'. However, the spokesman declined to apologise for the remark.
