Bunker Gold: BORIS JOHNSON – Requiem for a slob clown with James O’Brien

In the first of our Christmas cracker throwbacks, listen to James O’Brien’s righteous evisceration of Boris Johnson, recorded in the aftermath of the Greased Piglet’s resignation announcement. The LBC host joined Ros Taylor to pick through the wreckage. What will be Johnson’s legacy? Could things have ever gone differently? The pair bid farewell to the man who wanted to be king – but failed resoundingly as Prime Minister.

• “In terms of personal political performance Johnsonism is very similar to Trumpism. It’s opportunism devoid of conscience.”
• “It’s an absence of shame that I think defines him.”
• "He pursued monuments to his ego – like the Garden Bridge – but these also acted as distractions from his utter failures."
• "Even on his way out of the door, he's detonating explosives that will be felt for a generation to come."
