Since Andy Burnham became Prime Minister, Labour have risen significantly in the polls to overtake Reform, who’s fortunes have fallen alongside the Lib Dems and the Greens. So what’s behind this “Burnham Bounce”? And can he succeed where Starmer failed?

Johnson's arc is actually extremely straightforward, mirroring Trump, and for the same reasons – Johnson is absolutely not a good politician. He is a terrible politician. He's pretty much a textbook example of a terrible human.

What a stitch up, referring only to his failures and nothing of his successes. This is the real fake media, not Boris. Nice try.

It's not about being successful but being confident that you can be successful despite decades of proven failures. You need to be conpletely ignorant for that to work. Hence, Trump and Johnson.

I don’t understand your point at 6:30 … you’re saying that Johnson decided to support Leave because of game theory, but earlier in the video you said he had a long history of Euro-scepticism with his articles. So which is it? I don’t think you explained this thoroughly enough for me to believe your game theory theory.

I first heard of Johnson about 3 years ago. I was not impressed with him. My opinion has not changed. I was so unimpressed with Theresa May, I found it inexplicable that she could become PM. But I'm a Yank, what do I know? I'm not impressed with Trump or most of the people running for President in 2020, either. No wonder the world is going to Hell. We have too many idiots in charge.

By calling that nonsense 'saying it like it is' you're buying in to the right wingers narrative framing. This is NOT how it is, and people who say it are peddling nonsense.

Please use a consistent measure. In one place you use 23% (quite clear) in another it is 'won by 8000' mmm of 1m it is insignificant, of 30000 it is impressive.
