Special Hour: Boris Johnson on the brink

A major political crisis is underway in the United Kingdom. “Keep Calm and Carry On” seems to be Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s continuing motto, despite yet another scandal, top ministerial resignations, losing recent local elections, and plunging popularity. One snap poll conducted today found that seven out of 10 adults want Johnson to resign. And yet again, the familiar question: how long can he cling on? It’s a playbook Americans know well; just like Donald Trump, Boris Johnson has stepped far out of mainstream expectations for a political leader and flung up such volumes of scandal, overloading the news cycle and the public. But the old Boris razzle dazzle is wearing thin in Westminster and in the country at large, as voters grapple with the cost of living crisis and transit strikes amid a deficit of good governance. As more and more of Boris Johnson’s own MPs urge him to resign, we dedicate the hour to this very British scandal. Featuring: Former Conservative Party MP Rory Stewart, CNN International Diplomatic Editor Nic Robertson, Open Society Foundations President Mark Malloch-Brown, Former Communications Director for Tony Blair Alastair Campbell, historian Margaret MacMillan.
