“This is the man that forgot that you couldn’t have social gatherings inside.”
Boris Johnson forgetting his voter ID is down to “hubris and entitlement”, says comedian Susie McCabe.

Precisely. He 'forgot' to try and get back in the news.
If he hadn’t have pulled the stunt, you wouldn’t be talking about him…So he wins.

Boris is brilliant at playing the fool for the media. Wake up people 😂
This man never follows his own rules . Check his record if you don't believe me .
He didn't forget!..........Anything to keep is name/persona in the news! "He may look like an idiot, he may sound like an idiot, but don't let that fool you. He really is an idiot..." - Groucho Marx

As others have stated, this was most likely a publicity stunt to get his name back in the news. Boris is one of those people who follows the mantra of "there is no such thing as bad publicity" These are the type of people who get up every day and want to know how many times their names are mentioned either on TV or in the newspaper. They don't care if it's in a positive or negative context.

Ah get a life! Boris doesn't need publicity,not as much as this idiot talking about it???😅
This was probably done do get publicity that's the kind of charlatan he is
He didn’t forget, he just wanted some extra publicity .. charlatan .. jeez so sick of him !
This incident sums Johnson up perfectly.
Did he not have someone in his house who said don't forget your voter id even the night or day before, put it in your wallet, it was done on purpose to get publicity.

If he was missing being in the news he could have just got another wife. It would have been less hassle than turning up to vote without ID
It stopped me, a person that has always voted, from voting in these elections last week. Poor people and people who are struggling with lives that are hard and possibly caotic. Thats who it stops voting.
Grow up. 20,000 arrogant people then. He forgot ID wow.
Did Lia Nici forget her Voter ID? She would’ve said “I’m from Grimsby.”
I know people think it was a publicity stunt but I err towards this lady's opinion. Of course Johnson understands that he is immune to cockups as this is just his brand so when he discovered he had been caught out, he would have been very happy and that is the horrific injustice that follows Johnson. He never suffers any negative consequences for his terrible behaviour that has so damaged our country.
He is a joke and he is never serious on anything after all.
Spot on ,he thinks he is exempt from all these trivial little rules .They should not trouble an Ex Eton ExPM such as he.
'Boris's arrogance' - this just proves the utter stupidity of Times Radio.

I wonder if this woman thinks everyone who forgot to bring I/D with them are “arrogant “ or is it a title at least in her world she reserved for Boris. Who incidentally popped back home after a couple of minutes reappeared with his driving Licence and voted, and in his DM piece congratulated the tellers for enforcing the rules he brought in .

20,000 others didn't introduce the new regulation under their watch.
The hilarious part of the ID is we are not reading name nor address or even if it is in date; we are only told to check if the photo has similarities of the person standing in front of us and that it the ID is an official Identification issued by a recognised government body Should we in Britain have identification cards; yes we should and you can be done
Anyone could forget that
Zero seats campaign going as planned.
Complete "ATTENTION SEEKING/ ATTENTION WINNING" job... Trademark signature of "I don't need to abide by any rules, even my own!" + of course... "Surely... everyone knows unmistakable good old Boris, I do not need ID of any kind"! He has just caused enough of a media stir to usurp a prominent place in the headlines for all the typical provocative and egotistical reasons he can muster.
Why does Boris have a Jimmy Savile hair cut.
This is a man who thinks rules don't apply to him , he's just looking for attention, he's like a spoilt child 🙄

I can't stand the man either and I would never vote for him or the tories not in a million years, but.... can we really input what he's got in his mind? that he was relying on entitlement? OR is it just that the man is and always has been a fumbler and scatterbrain?
Ewwww
I'm an ex ukip member and local branch nomination for borough council candidate. The UKIP head office banned me from the party, social services essentially put my children in care, Natwest closed my bank account and Surrey police put me in prison.. passport forget it driving licence you must be joking. Was jr management in construction after being on the tools as a labourer in my twenties helping to run hundred million pound home building projects, a father of two adorable children.. no chance of me getting a vote anytime. Mainstream media do not want to know about the crimes that have been committed against individuals such as myself. So I leave comments like this and talk to practically everybody I see as a release in-between my daily land animal responsibilities and survival routine that is wot living off grid is about. Did manage to get a bit of unlicensed reform party campaign work under my belt on local election day 24 however Moving forward I'm thinking do urban centrer such London, Birmingham and Manchester for example really need transport, energy and water infrastructure?

@ob9835: Delighted, mate. Thanks for asking.
just another mistake in a long line of mistakes from boris j.
'Forgets'...
It is common in UK these days. Sunak always says something he shouldn't. Cameron tells Ukraine to us British missiles inside Russia proper, knowing UK doesn't have a strong military. Johnson is just par for the course.
Is that all you have to say ?
Failled Unionist Democrat..or FUD for short.
Needs DNA test to know its the real Boris Johnson. 😂😂😂
I don't think this was arrogance: I suspect it was all part of the 'lovable Boris, Britain's favourite political teddy bear' shtick. Don't buy it.
I didn't know that clowns got issued ID

Don't be silly. You give that halfwit to much credit. He simply forgot he was the PM that introduced the Voter ID law and forgot his own ID because he's a DIV.
He did vote. Another bafoon joke
I am someone that agrees with the idea of an ID card but there was no case for producing an ID just to vote. However what I find most galling is that one of the first acts of the incoming Tory administration 2010 was to scrap the introduction of ID cards.

Sick of all the entitled posh boy news commentary 😮Telling us the Tory party didn’t do so bad and the Labour Party didn’t do that good .LOOK AT THE NUMBERS.
He is typical of his appearance, a scruffy 6th former from a public school, therefore needs Mummy to ensure he has a pen, his ID, a sandwich, pennies for the bus, to check he has clean underwear on before leaving the house and a clean handkerchief, same as my mum did when I was 5 or 6 years old but I admit I am a boomer.
