Following the movement of Boris Johnson into intensive care last night, the public is calling for a 'Clap for Boris' event tonight.

It comes after the nation started applauding NHS staff for their hard work during the coronavirus pandemic on Thursdays dubbed Clap for our Carers.

Now, Clap for Boris is trending on Twitter as people feel the country should show support for the Prime Minister today at 8pm.

While some say the round of applause will show appreciation for Johnson's leadership during the crisis, others say it is not fair to 'single out' one patient of the virus when there are many others fighting for their lives.
