Watch: Peter Oborne dismantles Boris Johnson’s legacy in viral video

"Brutal but absolutely incontestable. This is the best summary of Boris Johnson’s absolutely ridiculous and thoroughly calamitous premiership in the hollow shell that once was the UK."

While Boris Johnson survived scandals over former chief aide Dominic Cummings’ infamous Barnard Castle trip during the early days of the coronavirus pandemic, the subsequent parties in Whitehall as Britons were locked down, and the refurbishment of his Downing Street flat which prompted the resignation of his ethics adviser, the allegations against former deputy chief whip Chris Pincher proved the final straw for Mr Johnson.

It was perhaps inevitable that a scandal – rather than an election defeat – would end his Downing Street tenure after a career of sailing close to the wind.

No stranger to controversy, Mr Johnson was once sacked from a journalism job for making up a quote and was described by a biographer as having a “casual relationship with the truth”.

It was this cavalier attitude that – eventually – put paid to his time at No 10 and a job he had long coveted.

Legacy

So what is his real legacy?

Journalist Peter Orbone’s video is a must-watch, it is a brutal assessment of Boris Johnson and that state the UK finds itself in.

A solid, succinct analysis and historic warning for Britain. Every single one of the current lot of so called Conservatives replacing Johnson are morally corrupt liars and potentially more dangerous. #ToriesOut #GeneralElection https://t.co/YAmhzr84fr

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.
