Today the queen will invite Boris Johnson to form a new government and become Prime Minister. Many onlookers have long been speculating that this was always Johnson’s ultimate aim, that he always wanted the top job. In this video, we discuss Johnson’s path through politics, from journalist to MP to Mayor to Brexit Campaigner to the most powerful man in the UK.

    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.

    5:46 – It's pronounced Rise-lip (Ruislip).

  8. @Ronnet

    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.

    December 23, 2023 at 5:17 pm

    So question… Can only a Conservative party member become Prime minister when there's a Conservative majority? Could a Labour party or Democrat party member have become prime minister?

    5:42 MP or mayor ?

  20. @damonmoney4474

    December 23, 2023 at 5:17 pm

    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.

  21. @vilstef6988

    December 23, 2023 at 5:17 pm

    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.

  22. @vilstef6988

    December 23, 2023 at 5:17 pm

    Mussolini started out as a journalist too. I'm not comparing Johnson to Mussolini, but just think about it. . .

    … You guys don't like Boris, do you?

  26. @sogghartha

    December 23, 2023 at 5:17 pm

    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.
