Boris Johnson’s Tory leadership campaign took him to a garden centre in Sevenoaks, Kent, the sort of Tory heartland place where surely he would be guaranteed the warmest of welcomes?

Well, not necessarily, as the PM-in-waiting was subjected to some truly Great British Heckling.

"Shame your brother's not running."

Can’t watch that too many times, frankly.

And here are our favourite things people said about it.

Is there anything more British than being heckled at a garden centre by someone calling you "preposterous"? https://t.co/AaBVi1BYwe

To conclude …

Is this the most British thing that has ever happened? Boris Johnson was heckled at a garden centre by someone shouting "good luck with your preposterous ideas” https://t.co/IkHne4FFKg
