Johnson quits! Trump indicted! Berlusconi dies! Telegraph for sale! Sturgeon nicked! Dorries does… whatever it was she did! This one’s got it all. After a weekend that felt like the ‘Layla’ bit of Goodfellas, the OGWN team convene to look at the aftershocks of Boris Johnson’s flounce, what Trump’s worsening legal woes mean for America’s stability, and who we’d like to take over at the Torygraph. With special guest Eleni Courea, deputy editor of Politico’s London Playbook.   Listen to our new paper review podcast PAPER CUTS here. • “There are so many layers to Johnson’s dishonesty that the idea he was forced out is just fanciful.” – Arthur Snell • “This idea that Johnson could come back is now completely fading.” – Eleni Courea • “I feel we’re definitely in Phase IV of the Tory Cinematic Universe…” – Alex Andreou • “Johnson WAS brought down by a conspiracy… A conspiracy of his own laziness and dishonesty.” – Matt Green https://www.patreon.com/ohgodwhatnow Presented by Alex Andreou with Matt Green and Arthur Snell.

more in the brand new paper cut springing forth from our loins. I'm Alex Andro. This week

infamy, infamy, the volgottet infamy. Boris Johnson claims he's the victim of a witch hunt

0:23.9

with test his claim on the ducking stew. Also the latest Donald Trump indictment is unsealed

0:29.8

and it's worse than anyone thought or better or both. And the telegraph media group is up for sale,

comedian and the best fake Tory and the Interwebs since that other one revealed he was a Yorkshire man

0:46.7

with a mullet. Hello Matt. Hello. How are you doing? Matt on Monday news break that Silvia

Burlusconi has gone to the great Bunga Bunga party in the sky. Was he in some way at the vanguard
