The Two Matts

Is the party over for Boris Johnson?


Listen Later

In this week’s episode, host Steve Anglesey breaks down for listeners what constitutes a party, being at work and a work party, if, like the prime minister, listeners often get them muddled up. Award-winning journalist James Ball joins the podcast to discuss how this week's scandal has been different from the ones Boris Johnson has usually ridden out and how Keir Starmer has stepped up to the plate in light of it. They then go on to discuss the most influential address you've never heard of - 55 Tufton Street, SW1. It's the home of pro-Brexit groups and climate change sceptics, but just how much power does it have over the government? Plus, Ann Widdecombe, Nigel Fagare and Kriss Akabusi are all in the Hall of Shame this week. Enjoyed this episode? Let us know by tweeting @TheNewEuropean.
