Boris Johnson: "They Were Looking at Engineering the Virus” & “The Government Tried To Bribe Me!"
Boris Johnson, Charlotte Owen, Steve
Boris Johnson defends his pandemic leadership and Brexit record while addressing the Partygate controversy, admitting strategic errors in his initial apologies yet maintaining that national independence drove the UK's economic recovery and rapid vaccination efforts. Reflecting on his personal history, he attributes his competitive nature to family struggles and explains using a "buffoon" persona to engage the public, while criticizing the UK's education system for its over-reliance on Eton and advocating for broader opportunity. Currently living in rural isolation, the former Prime Minister indicates he has no immediate plans to return to politics but suggests he might reconsider if a specific utility arises.

Why Jeremy Hunt thinks he'll be Britain's next prime minister
Jeremy Hunt, Donald Trump, Michael Gove, Boris Johnson, Theresa May, Anne
Contender Jeremy Hunt warns that failing to deliver Brexit will lead to a Labour victory and political extinction, arguing that a no-deal outcome remains a necessary negotiation lever to overcome parliamentary blockades. To ensure the EU trusts the UK's delivery capacity, he proposes a unified government team including the DUP and ERG while rejecting a second referendum as undemocratic. Hunt further outlines his economic strategy of corporate tax cuts, asserts that NHS ownership will not be sold in US trade talks, and emphasizes that 5G decisions must prioritize national interest over foreign dependency.
