Johnson officially resigned as Prime Minister last week, so we wanted to take some time to reflect on his tenure. From how Johnson ended up in Number 10 to why he eventually saw his grand vision come crumbling down.

    It’s really weird & concerning that both him & Tump were in office at the same time causing chaos, division & pure foolishness. Very satirically planned by someone for some reason that effectively effected the world.

    I loved the video, thanks for this. I've just learnt about your channel! I'll see how I can support you in the upcoming future.
    That said, I'm sorry, I know it's not the main topic, but I have to ask: why on earth is the word "rape" censored? It's neither a swearword nor are slur. If someone's a rapist, especially someone elected to represent us, I like it said out loud, no softening. I hope it's not because people are too sensitive to hear the word. In that case, I inform you that trigger avoidance is not a therapeutic strategy to rape-induced ptsd, but a symptom, so you'd be enabling the sickness in people. Shielding people from causes of distress is just fashionable, but highly damaging.

    "Let the bodies pile high I'm their thousands"? well if that isn't the most heartless thing anyone could say, especially on a position of power l, I don't know what is. Disgusting.

    Barnard castle was not even close to the first thing that shook confidence in Boris.
    No deal, lying about finances, lying about the Brexit campaign, not handling COVID well from the start, generally being incompetent.
    And that's just off the top of my head.

    Also, his "positives" weren't even positives. Brexit was terribly handled, so the fact he shoved through a bad deal is even worse. And the vaccine wasn't even dealt with by him, and then there were all the supply chain and lockdown issues that weren't done well either.

    Russia invaded Ukraine in 2022 not 2021, how did you manage such a huge slip up and how have you not acknowledged it by now

  14. @tomc9453

    He rose because he was supported by a legion of idiots, which is the truly sad and disturbing thing.

  15. @jugaloo5873

    Is it getting close to 'tar and feather a tory day' yet?

    I m french and i really enjoyed the quality of the video, great job

  17. @Interitus1

    But you didn't answer the most important question. Why doesn't he own a comb?

  18. @ThePereubu1710

    January 1, 2024 at 7:06 pm

    and long may he remain fallen.

  19. @mickeencrua

    Speaks volumes for the British people that they would elevate the likes of Johnson to the role of P.M. and unquestioningly believe all his lies. The fact that he would lie to and mislead the Monarch of the Realm shows you how low he would stoop. Yet the British people ignored this. Speaks volumes indeed.

  20. @Chnmmr

    January 1, 2024 at 7:06 pm

    And now we have never ending arguments by Brexiters that a stonking indy MP and MSP majority in Scotland is not a call for Scottish Indy. The UKs time is at an end thankfully, a corrupt cesspool of arrogance brought down by the most arrogant and corrupt governments in British history.

  21. @JAMESmmmmmm

    January 1, 2024 at 7:06 pm

    Imo the best pm in recent history. Will be missed 🌟

  22. @jeremypintsize7606

    January 1, 2024 at 7:06 pm

    Boris had begun his carrer by a lie he claims to be a Queen subject , but he is an US citizen.
    He was a Trump offshoot a liar and an crook .

  23. @bunonregs913

    January 1, 2024 at 7:06 pm

    so basically entire premiership a complete failure…and people still think he is the best thing to happen to the UK

During Burnham’s long political career in and out of Westminster, it’s been difficult to pin his ideology down firmly on either the left or the right of the Labour Party. So in this video, we take a look at why he may not be as left wing as some hoped.
