Summary

Johnson’s going and his emphatic collapse in office was no less shameful than expected. But historically, just how abnormal was it? Jacob Jarvis speaks with Rock & Roll Politics host Steve Richards to discuss endgames of the past and where the latest Prime Minister’s ranks in the grand scheme of things – all recorded immediately in the aftermath of Johnson’s Thursday speech. “Johnson wants to be a Churchillian figure. Instead he will go down as someone who blew a big majority, and he will hate that.” “When Johnson lost Javid and Sunak, I knew we were going to reach the end quite quickly.” “When choosing a Prime Minister, you have to look beyond whether they can win an election.” https://www.patreon.com/bunkercast Written and presented by Jacob Jarvis.
