Boris Johnson Implodes Spectacularly

This is excruciating beyond belief. Boris Johnson - the guy who repeatedly broke the lockdown rules he was in charge of imposing - today testified to MPs that, yes, he misled Parliament, but he didn't do so recklessly or deliberately. What a complete joke: his entire defence rests on him being irredeemably thick. There is a darker truth: not only is Johnson defined by his own crass selfishness, his trenchant belief that rules are for the little guy, not for him - but in so many ways his behaviour sums up our rotten Establishment.Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/the-owen-jones-podcast.
