Inside Johnson's final weeks – with Sebastian Payne

from The Bunker – News without the nonsense · host Podmasters

Boris Johnson’s endgame was a gripping spectacle of hubris, betrayal, power struggles and bare-faced self-interest. But what went down behind the scenes? Sebastian Payne lays out the drama in his new book The Fall of Boris Johnson: The Full Story. The former Financial Times’s Whitehall Editor tells Ros Taylor about the contradictions that drove Johnson’s career, the truth about his relationship with Zelenskyy… and how parties at No.10 helped bring down a man who doesn’t even like parties.  “Johnson is gone but his domestic policies still shape Westminster.”  “In Kyiv they can’t understand why we got rid of Johnson.” “Johnson never had the right people around him.” www.patreon.com/bunkercast  Written and presented by Ros Taylor. Lead Producer: Jacob Jarvis. Producers: Alex Rees and Jet Gerbertson. Assistant producer: Kasia Tomasiewicz. Audio production by Jade Bailey. Music: Kenny Dickinson. Group editor: Andrew Harrison.
