Best reactions as Johnson compared to Henry VIII as he is urged to destabilise Church of England

"Congratulations to Boris Johnson who is now just three wives short of Henry VIII bingo"

The Government’s controversial new Brexit legislation could set “a disastrous precedent” if passed in its current form, the UK’s archbishops warned last week in a rare joint letter.

The five senior church leaders, including the Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby, said the decisions implemented in the UK Internal Market Bill would “profoundly affect” the relationship between the four nations of the United Kingdom.

The Bill sets out the way that trade within the UK will work once it is outside the EU’s single market and customs union.

Steve Baker

Now a leading Tory has urged the PM to disestablish the Church of England if controversy over its clergy’s political interventions continues.

Steve Baker, the former Brexit minister, said a parliamentary motion to sever ties between Church and state might be required if rows sparked by political statements by its leaders persisted.

As you can imagine this talk has reminded people of Henry VIII, the last tyrant to meddle in the working of the Church for his benefit.

But before we head to Boris Johnson here are a few Tweets on ‘hardman of Brexit’ Steve Baker himself.

‘We’ve parted company with Europe, now they’ve nothing else to do in their said little lives it’s time to part company with the Church of England. Godexit. How dare these unelected Bible-bashers lay down rules like ‘thou shalt not lie’?’

‘Johnson may as well go the whole hog and make like fellow autocratic philanderer Henry VIII- seize the cathedrals, knock down a few monasteries. Why not? He’s trashed everything else.’

Since you are here

Journalism in Britain is under threat. The government is becoming increasingly authoritarian and our media is run by a handful of billionaires, most of whom reside overseas and all of them have strong political allegiances and financial motivations.

Our mission is to hold the powerful to account. It is vital that free media is allowed to exist to expose hypocrisy, corruption, wrongdoing and abuse of power. But we can't do it without you.
