Summary

Who’s number one in No.10? And which governmental loser is tandem inter pares? Commentator, LBC broadcaster, author and “not a fan of Boris Johnson” Iain Dale tells our own Ian Dunt what makes Prime Ministers succeed and fail – and how Boris Johnson’s Churchillian fantasies match up to reality. “Clement Attlee is among our greatest Prime Ministers but he wouldn’t have a hope in today’s intense environment.” “Boris won’t go down as the Brexit Prime Minister. He’ll go down as the COVID Prime Minister.” “Twitter is blogging on acid, isn’t it?” “Boris Johnson will enjoy being an ex-Prime Minister a lot more than being Prime Minister.” “Every Prime Minister wants to be a Churchill… but can you really compare coronavirus with 1940?” Presented by Ian Dunt. Produced by Andrew Harrison. Assistant producers Jelena Sofronijevic and Jacob Archbold. Music by Kenny Dickinson. Audio production by Alex Rees.
