At the time this podcast was recorded, the government had lost 38 ministers. A crowd of cabinet ministers were gathered in downing street to try to convince borris johnson to finally resign. They included nadem sir harwey, the freshly promoted chancel of the exchequer. Just as we were finishing the editing of this episode, johnson started his second re shuffle in two days and sacked michael gove. So a few obvious questions, how did we get here? What happens now? And can our political system recover? I'm john harris, and you're listening to politics weekli e cae for the guardian.
