Johnson’s Demise: The Most Shameful End Ever?

Johnson’s going and his emphatic collapse in office was no less shameful than expected. But historically, just how abnormal was it? Jacob Jarvis speaks with Rock & Roll Politics host Steve Richards to discuss endgames of the past and where the latest Prime Minister’s ranks in the grand scheme of things – all recorded immediately in the aftermath of Johnson’s Thursday speech.  

• “Johnson wants to be a Churchillian figure. Instead he will go down as someone who blew a big majority, and he will hate that.”
• “When Johnson lost Javid and Sunak, I knew we were going to reach the end quite quickly.” 
• “When choosing a Prime Minister, you have to look beyond whether they can win an election.”
