In a 'winner-takes-all' politics, there must be losers. Then-PM Boris Johnson had managed to swerve the many scandals that came his way, and it seemed as if nothing could stop him.His supporters couldn't get enough of his tenacity, his opposition were delirious with dismay. But the walls were closing in. The way his reputation within the Conservative party was written started to change and it became clear that there was undeniable desire to distance the wider party from the Johnson narrative.Guto Harri talks us through the final days of Boris Johnson as Prime Minister and gives us the inside track of what was really going on behind closed doors in possibly the most chaotic and unprecedented period in recent UK politics.Archive credits 1. tomcardy1 / ‘A special song just for you’ / YouTube2.

Brexit, Covid, Partygate, lockdowns, leaks, the war in Ukraine, a cost-of-living crisis and the scandals that plagued our politics. Guto Harri was in the room when the big decisions were made. In this podcast, expect unprecedented access behind the shiny black door of Number 10 Downing Street, during one of the most chaotic periods in British political history. Guto was Boris Johnson’s Communications Chief. When he first walked over the Number 10 threshold, things weren’t normal. A set of circumstances, scandals and chaos that will never be repeated. It was unprecedented.
