A FACEBOOK group with more than 160,000 members has been set up to clap for our Prime Minister who recently went into intensive care after becoming infected with coronavirus.

The page called 'Clap for Boris' wants people to perform a round of applause for Boris Johnson at 8pm on Tuesdays until he has recovered from the virus.

The trend follows that of Clap for Carers which has been performed on Thursday nights for the last two weeks.
