Oh God, What Now?

Boris Johnson’s Lying Circus


Listen Later

Recorded before the Privileges Committee report landed. We thought the whole point of resigning was to shut up and go away? On his way out, ex-MP Johnson trashes everything from the Privileges Committee to Tory detente to objective truth itself. We reassemble the original Remainiacs team to look at the squalid final days of Britain’s worst Prime Minister. Could he ever come back?

Plus, as Trump ends up in court and Berlusconi goes to the Great Bunga Bunga Party in the Sky, is populism unravelling? And there’s news for long-time listeners.

Listen to our new paper review podcast PAPER CUTS here. https://listen.podmasters.uk/PCogwn

• “Johnson is treating the inquiry itself with contempt… Even his fingernails lie. There’s no limit to his depravity.” – Ian Dunt

• “The Trump indictment is like someone fed every John le Carré novel into ChatGPT and then asked it to write an episode of Curb Your Enthusiasm.” – Alex Andreou

• “The mystique has gone. That sense of the ‘proven winner’ has gone. The Tory Party are not complete chumps. He’s running scared.” – Ian Dunt

• “Johnson’s version of events are undermined because he’s a lying liar that lies.” – Naomi Smith
