Johnson wanted to send Sunak NSFW message, ex-comms chief claims

“He didn’t send it, but he sent it to me and said: ‘Thinking of sending this to Rishi’.”

Boris Johnson joked about sending a message to Rishi Sunak calling him a “c***” in the aftermath of his resignation as chancellor, it has been claimed.

Guto Harri, who served as No 10’s director of communications under Mr Johnson, has claimed that the ex-prime minister found a video he wanted to send to Mr Sunak in the days after he left Government.

“Rishi walked about, didn’t even tell Boris he was going to go. Basically went public with a resignation and a few days later, Boris found a little video on the internet that expressed what he wanted to basically say to Rishi.

“He didn’t send it, but he sent it to me and said: ‘Thinking of sending this to Rishi’.”

The video, Mr Harri claimed, contained the words: “You’re a c***.”

“So there you have it. If you really want to know how Boris Johnson felt about Rishi Sunak in the immediate aftermath of his toppling and the great betrayal of all time, as he sees it, there you have it.”

The departure of Mr Sunak is seen by allies of Mr Johnson as having helped precipitate the ministerial exodus that eventually forced him from office last summer.

In the same podcast, released on Thursday for Global, Mr Harri reveals the policy tensions between the two men and the “fundamental disagreement” between the pair on economic policy and tax decisions.

“There was a moment when Boris blew up, sadly Rishi was not in the room,” Mr Harri says.

Since you are here

Since you are here, we wanted to ask for your help.

Journalism in Britain is under threat. The government is becoming increasingly authoritarian and our media is run by a handful of billionaires, most of whom reside overseas and all of them have strong political allegiances and financial motivations.

Our mission is to hold the powerful to account. It is vital that free media is allowed to exist to expose hypocrisy, corruption, wrongdoing and abuse of power. But we can't do it without you.
