Prime Minister Boris Johnson has bizarrely launched a Snapchat account.

Just one hour before he was due to give his keynote speech at the Tory conference in Manchester, Mr Johnson tweeted: “Hi folks, I’m now on Snapchat so you can see more about what I’m doing as your Prime Minister.”

The Prime Minister's first post listed his priorities, including "getting Brexit done", and featured footage from his week in Manchester.

The Tory Party also tweeted the new account under the title “BREAKING”.

It promised “exclusive content”, allowing his followers to “go behind the scenes like never before”.
