John Crace, the Guardian’s parliamentary sketch author and creator of Taking the Lead: A Dog at Number 10, searches Boris Johnson’s new memoir Unleashed for any indicators of self-reflection.
“Clearly, Boris did hope that by penning this e-book, possibly the nation would fall in love with him once more,” John tells Helen Pidd. “However, if something, it’s going to revive and revive ongoing resentments which have been buried.
“Boris has achieved in some way essentially the most unforgivable factor of all. I imply, in fact, it’s self-serving. After all it’s riddled with inaccuracies, we form of count on that. However he has managed to make his personal life actually, actually boring.”
John and Helen focus on Johnson’s accounts of delivering Brexit, the Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe case, and his “sequence of pathetic apologies” over No 10’s Partygate.
