Rock & Roll Politics with Steve Richards

How Did Boris Johnson Last As Long As He Did?

The dangerous chaos of Johnson's leadership is exposed in a new book by historian Anthony Seldon. Yet, we knew most of the sordid details it all at the time - so how did he get away with it?
Plus, a Question Time Special on relations between ministers and civil servants. Where does power lie?
Rock &amp; Roll Politics is live at Kings Place on May 15th.
