Was it PMQs that helped carry him down?
Little question over the following 12 months or so we’re going to see a collection of educational and different research on the downfall of Johnson who, after all, at GE2019 had the most effective Tory common election consequence because the Thatcher period.
Arguably PMQs had its half to play his exit and it was a few of his PMQ responses on “partygate” which doubtlessly have been troublesome for him. His flat assertions in regards to the lockdown guidelines being adopted have been all the time going to be onerous to face up
I started protecting PMQs again in 1972 for Radio 4’s Immediately in Parliament programme. Then, after all, there have been no reside broadcasts and pre-GE1997 there have been two 15 minute periods per week in contrast with the one we’ve got now.
Of the PM’s in that point Johnson did moderately properly however he wasn’t within the Tony Blair or Maggie Thatcher class. I charge Wilson fairly extremely in addition to Jim Callaghan.
