00:17It's June 2016. Boris is running the Vote Leave Brexit campaign.
00:26He doesn't think he's going to win, but even losing could help him get closer to becoming
00:32Prime Minister.
00:37I suppose all politicians in the end are like kind of crazed wasps in a jam jar, each individually
00:44convinced that they're going to make it. You've been more or less programmed that way.
00:51My silicon chip, my ambition, silicon chip has been programmed to try to scrabble my
00:57way up this cursus horn, you know, this ladder of things. And so you do feel a kind of sense
01:03you've got to.
01:16I want to talk to everybody here. I want to talk to everybody here. Good morning everybody,
01:29can you hear me?
01:32Folks, this is a once in a lifetime, unrepeatable opportunity for us to take back control of
01:38our country. Do you think we can do it?
01:45Meanwhile, a psychological drama is playing out inside the Johnson family. Both his brother,
01:54Joe, and his sister, Rachel, oppose Brexit and are campaigning for remain.
02:01I've thought about this and it's been hard for me, but I think that we are better it,
02:07you know, and I don't want to cast us adrift.
02:12Well, it's divided us all and it has divided the family, but mainly into members who think
02:18that Brexit is a shit idea and those who think it's a really shit idea.
02:24What a tremendous joy it is to be here today.
02:27His father, Stanley, now tours the country in a remain t-shirt, campaigning against his son.
02:36What is the word you've been hearing from the other side? Take control. Well, my message
02:40today is, yes, stay in and take control. Vote to remain. Vote to remain.
02:49I remember Rachel Johnson once described the Brexit debate in their family as a kind of
02:55Oedipal struggle. Because, of course, Stanley Johnson had been an MEP, this staunch pro-European,
03:01great Europhile. And then Boris Johnson tried to destroy all of that and became the most
03:07high-profile figurehead for the Brexit campaign.
03:12One member of Boris's family who plans to support him is his mother, Charlotte. She is voting
03:20leave out of loyalty to her firstborn.
03:33Meanwhile, the Prime Minister, David Cameron, Boris's political rival, has gambled everything
03:40on winning the referendum for Remain.
03:51This choice about Europe, it is a choice for a generation. Do we stay in or do we go? Now,
03:57I'm very clear that the best answer is to stay in.
04:02To help him take on the Prime Minister, Boris is joined on the Vote Leave bus by Michael Gove.
04:14Ladies and gentlemen, friends, colleagues...
04:18Gove was demoted by Cameron and so, like Boris, has a motive to take on the Prime Minister.
04:24And it's fantastic to be here with just three weeks to go before the referendum and the chance
04:31to take back our independence.
04:37Gove's then wife, Sarah, remembers him making the decision.
04:43Michael and Boris were having lots of conversations about Brexit.
04:48And everything was so feverish. I mean, lots of people said,
04:51don't do this, because they just thought it's a massive can of worms
04:54and nothing good would have come of it. But I think in my heart of hearts,
04:57I always knew Michael would go for leave, just because that was politically where he always stood, really.
05:08Boris and Michael, they always just got on really quite well.
05:13And the thing is, is that when you are in politics, your friendships really sustain you,
05:18because it's a really tough environment to be in.
05:21And I think that they were sort of on the same page politically.
05:25And, of course, they were both journalists.
05:31Both Michael and Boris have that journalistic instinct for a good story,
05:36how to package an idea.
05:39I think Boris is very good at that. And so is Michael.
05:44To fully understand the psychology of this situation,
05:48one has to go back to Oxford University 1985.
06:03Where Boris Johnson, Michael Gove, and David Cameron are all studying.
06:17Honourable members wishing to vote in favour of the motion will occupy the benches on my right.
06:22Honourable members voting against the motion will sit on the benches on my left.
06:26There being 167 votes in favour of the motion and 85 against.
06:35I declare the motion overwhelmingly carried and I close the house at 12.18am.
06:41Boris has a clear ambition to become President of the Oxford Union,
06:47something his father attempted but never achieved.
06:52Many Presidents of the Union have gone on to be Prime Minister.
06:58I first met Boris at Oxford in 1983 where we were exact contemporaries.
07:04I think the first time I met him socially was at the Cheese and Wine Appreciation Society.
07:15He was this kind of biggest man on campus.
07:20The local celebrity.
07:23I was quite pleased that he remembered my name.
07:27Hey! Chubby, Chubby, Chubby, Chubby, Chubby!
07:29And it's all kind of big and kind of dramatic and theatrical.
07:34But after that, he'll move on and start talking to someone else in exactly the same way
07:39and sort of work around the room, but often with a kind of phalanx,
07:43like a close protection unit, around him.
07:46Almost like a politician even back then.
07:50Boris then joins the infamous Bullingdon Club, an all-male elite society.
07:57Draped confidently across the college steps, he wears the club's traditional outfit
08:02and once again bumps into his old Etonian pal, David Cameron.
08:08To help him become President of the Union,
08:12Boris recruits a working-class student from Aberdeen, Michael Gove.
08:18So I'm going to satisfy your right to know.
08:22I'm going to let you know what's underneath my kilt.
08:25Now, just bear with me, ladies and gentlemen,
08:28ordinarily people have to pay for this pressure.
08:30And I have, underneath my kilt, a pair of Oxford Union boxer shorts.
08:37Another member of the Boris cult, one of his kind of foot soldiers
08:41in his kind of political campaign, was Michael Gove.
08:45Gove said his first impression of Boris was that of a basking shark
08:50waiting for students to swim towards him.
08:53He was two years below Boris.
08:56Very confident, slightly odd-looking young man.
09:00You continually want to get to the centre, the core of my private life.
09:04And you'll never get to the hard core of my private life.
09:08And I recognise the honourable gentleman.
09:10And he was very articulate and quick-witted.
09:15Boris was the kind of, you know, mafia boss.
09:19And me and Gove were just members of his kind of crew,
09:22were trying to kind of marshal the votes for Boris back then.
09:26He was actually much better at it than me.
09:27He was obviously a natural politician in a way that I wasn't.
09:32With Gove's support, Boris is victorious.
09:40Exactly 30 years later,
09:43and whilst Michael plots the Leave campaign at the back of the bus...
09:47Boris? Boris first! Boris! Boris first!
09:51Boris first! Boris first! Boris is once again the front man.
09:55I'll catch you with you.
09:56Thank you, hi Bitte.
09:56Oh my god, it's a bastie.
09:58The bastie of independance.
10:00As voting day draws closer,
10:03Remain is still predicted to win.
10:05But the polls are narrowing,
10:07and Boris is beginning to catch up with his old rival, David Cameron.
10:11I remember him shouting at me at a birthday party.
10:16Dave said to me, you know, I am fighting for my political career here.
10:20I think that he didn't factor in the Michael-Boris combo,
10:26which was sort of explosive, really.
10:29This whole debate is about democracy.
10:32We have our ability to speak up.
10:35And we won't be trying that, will we?
10:38No!
10:41I think the real low point of the campaign for David Cameron
10:44was a Saturday afternoon where I called him up and said,
10:48tomorrow's Sunday time is going to have a letter
10:50from Boris Johnson and Michael Gove,
10:52which is basically criticising you on immigration.
10:55And I remember when I first told him that, the line went dead.
10:59And a few minutes later, he called me back and said,
11:01look, I'm really sorry.
11:02The reason I'd put the phone down was I'm just so angry
11:06that they know that I've been desperately trying to control immigration.
11:09They're questioning my integrity,
11:11and I cannot believe that two people who professed to be my friends,
11:15one of whom that was godfather to one of his children,
11:18that they were willing to go that far in order to win.
11:21Don't go and vote on the basis of things you're being told that aren't true.
11:26So let's get out there and vote remain tomorrow, Thursday.
11:29Go for it. Thank you.
11:32Do you think they've won?
11:34Can we go forward to a victory on June the 23rd?
11:37Yeah!
11:38Do we believe in this country, what you can achieve?
11:41Yes, we do, don't we?
11:42What a marvellous show!
11:44This is Boris!
12:09When the polls closed, I sank into a total deep depression.
12:12I mean, I don't know why.
12:14I'd be wildly optimistic the day before.
12:17But I convinced myself we were going to lose,
12:19and I was in a pretty miserable mood.
12:22I think really up until the Sunderland result.
12:24And suddenly Sunderland, I think, crikey,
12:27wow, we're in with a chance here.
12:29So, of course, you know, I was up through the night,
12:32and at about ten past four, I gave a speech on the South Bank.
12:37A new door! A new door!
12:40An independent, united kingdom!
12:44Four hours later, the Prime Minister is gone.
12:49I'm very proud and very honoured to have been Prime Minister of this country for six years.
12:55But the British people have made a very clear decision to take a different path.
13:00And as such, I think the country requires fresh leadership to take it in this direction.
13:06It was a huge moment.
13:08The funny thing was, Boris Johnson and Michael Gove didn't wait for the result.
13:13They went to bed.
13:15When they woke up the next morning and left their front doors,
13:20they looked, they didn't look joyous.
13:21They looked flustered, as if, oh, God, what have we done?
13:25They never really wanted to win.
13:27They never really wanted to win.
13:31It's just about the arrangements for how we go off.
13:34Whilst Cameron is resigning,
13:36Boris is at home with one of his closest advisers, Will Walden.
13:43I remember watching him when Dave resigned,
13:46dressed in a Brazilian football shirt and ill-matching shorts.
13:51And he just was shaking his head.
13:53He was like, well, you know, what have we done?
13:54Poor Sam.
13:55It's dreadful.
13:56Look at that poor woman.
13:56I mean, having to go through this.
13:59You know, poor Dave.
14:02Totally Boris.
14:03Totally mixed up.
14:04Totally confused by, you know, what had been done.
14:07Genuinely worried about the outcome.
14:09And then I think the crucial thing for him was what then happened as we left the house.
14:26We'd never had police in the house before.
14:27It was chaos.
14:31And I remember at that moment when Boris dived into the car, he looked pretty scared.
14:49These people, a lot of them young, they thought that Boris had stripped their future away.
14:58I remember zipping off in the car and there's a light at the end of their road and it was
15:03green.
15:03And I said, if it changes to orange, bust the light.
15:07I'll pay the ticket if you get it.
15:08I just said, just drive through it.
15:09It changed to orange, went to red, he slammed on the brakes.
15:12And I thought, oh, God.
15:26Come on, Boris.
15:28I think at that moment he realised the effect of his part in the campaign.
15:34In Boris's mind, there was suddenly a kind of, what's the plan?
15:38We haven't got a plan.
15:39We never thought we were going to win.
15:42OK.
15:44It's 11am.
15:45And the country is looking to Boris and Michael Gove for what happens next.
15:56When we ended up at Vote Leave, he wrote a speech which was pretty lacklustre, I think, by Boris's own
16:02standards, partly because they were shocked themselves.
16:07APPLAUSE
16:09Thank you very much.
16:10And I want to begin this morning by paying tribute to David Cameron, who has spoken earlier from Downey Street.
16:18I've known David Cameron for a very long time and I believe he's been one of the most extraordinary politicians
16:24of our age.
16:27The whole press conference didn't look prime ministerial, it didn't look like they were in charge.
16:34There was a reality and a dawning of kind of, who's going to do this?
16:40And with Cameron resigning, suddenly the plan was in Boris's hands.
16:45And I think for Boris that changed everything from that moment.
16:58The challenge now will be uniting a country divided by this referendum.
17:04The pound and shares in British companies have already spiralled down.
17:07It is unprecedented stuff.
17:15Within a day, news of Brexit wipes $2 trillion off the value of shares on the global stock market.
17:24And protests spring up across the country.
17:31Are you taking control, Boris?
17:35But Boris Johnson is now the favourite, and within touching distance of becoming prime minister.
17:42You lost, but your boy won. How does that feel?
17:45So it means a win-win situation. I had a text from him.
17:48What does he say?
17:49Just a second ago.
17:50Hey, hey, hey. Hope all well. Lots of love.
17:54I regard that as being a positive sign.
17:57Would you like him to run?
17:59I think I explained.
18:00I believe that he has to be a candidate, and I think it would be totally normal for a man
18:04who has made the effort he has made.
18:06What's his name now?
18:07To derail Europe.
18:10Sorry, that was a silly joke.
18:11That's a total joke.
18:14And not to be taken seriously.
18:18Boris has dreamed of becoming prime minister for decades.
18:23The seeds of that ambition, some say, lie in Boris's relationship with his mother.
18:33Boris clearly adores his mother.
18:37I think he quite modelled himself upon her, and I think they were rather similar.
18:42Quick, intelligent, humorous, and good-natured.
18:47I mean, his childhood wasn't easy.
18:49He witnessed quite a lot of some marital, you know, discord, which is not nice for any child.
18:57So, naturally, she was worried about him, because she said to me that he was very vulnerable.
19:09When Boris is ten and living in Brussels, his childhood is thrown into disarray.
19:17His mother, Charlotte, leaves suddenly for London.
19:22She has been admitted to a psychiatric hospital after suffering a nervous breakdown.
19:36She is a painter, and she did some horrendous pictures there.
19:41A lot of pictures of her children.
19:44There was always a slight undertone of darkness in her pictures.
19:49Here's a picture of them with tears all over the place.
19:55When I was in hospital, they grew very close to each other and very protective of each other.
20:00And Boris was always very protective of the younger children.
20:05As a boy, Boris would tell people that one day he wanted to be world king.
20:12I often thought that his being world king was a wish to make himself unhurtable, invincible,
20:22somehow safe from the pains of life, the pains of your mother disappearing for eight months,
20:29the pains of your parents splitting up.
20:34And I think that's what ultimately drove him into politics.
20:37It wasn't about some political mission or big ideological idea.
20:43It was about power in order to protect himself.
20:50Miss Johnson, any message of reassurance for the country?
20:53There are millions of very scared voters at the moment who are just looking for a message from their leader.
20:57Now within grasp of realising his childhood dream,
21:01Boris has just four days to gather enough support from MPs.
21:06None of these countries can handle the uncertainty, can they?
21:09Hello, very nice to see you.
21:11To run his campaign, yet again, he chooses Michael Gove.
21:17See you later.
21:19They'd all been summoned to Boris' house in the countryside
21:21to go and have top-level talks about what was going to be happening next.
21:27And they sort of arrive to sort of back an alien scene.
21:33There was sort of barbecue and there was red wine and lots of drinking and partying.
21:40And, you know, Michael felt, we're not celebrating here.
21:42You know, this is a really serious thing that's happened.
21:45This is not a time to have a party.
21:47And Boris' response was, hooray, I've won a thing.
21:50And so Michael went sort of full Presbyterian Scott
21:54and Boris went sort of full Bullingdon.
22:00Boris returns to London to secure votes.
22:05Are you well?
22:06Good night, Mr.
22:07Good night.
22:09We look forward to the comments tomorrow.
22:11Leadership too, though, yes?
22:16Convinced he has enough support to win,
22:19Boris is ready to launch his campaign.
22:23They'd come back from this party
22:27and Michael just was ashen-faced.
22:30He just walked in through the door and said,
22:31I just don't think Boris is up to this.
22:34I just don't think he's up to it.
22:36That was what threw Michael and made him think
22:38whether or not Boris was going to be able
22:40to take the job seriously enough.
22:47I remember that I was travelling on the tube
22:49to go and get Boris to do the campaign launch.
22:54I had a text on my phone appeared
22:56from one of Boris' senior aides
22:58and it just said,
23:00effing gave.
23:01Bit of a dig at the Eton-educated Boris Johnson
23:04from the State School-educated Home Secretary.
23:07Tom, Tom, Tom, I'm really sorry to interrupt.
23:10We're just hearing that Michael Gove
23:13is preparing to announce his candidacy as well.
23:18I got off the tube, rang Boris,
23:20who'd been in the shower apparently
23:22when Gove had tried to call him,
23:24got to the house
23:25and Boris was, he was utterly crestfallen.
23:29He could not believe that this had happened
23:32after all they'd shared on the referendum campaign.
23:34He basically just kept shaking his head,
23:35just going, why, why, why?
23:37And then there was the whole point
23:38that we had to get in the campaign headquarters
23:40to decide what he was going to do.
23:44Excuse me, guys.
23:44Mr Johnson, what's your message to Michael Gove?
23:47What's your message to Michael Gove?
23:48Sorry, move out of the way, please.
23:49Will this harm your campaign, Mr Johnson?
23:51Move out of the way.
23:52Will this harm your campaign, Mr Johnson?
23:55What's your message to Michael Gove?
24:17I've got some news coming through to you.
24:19The Justice Secretary, Michael Gove,
24:21will stand for the Conservative leadership
24:23and the Prime Ministership.
24:28I stand here and I'm standing for the leadership,
24:31not as a result of calculation,
24:34not as a result of calculation.
24:38I'm standing, because I have a burning desire
24:41to transform our country.
24:42Your assassination of Boris Johnson,
24:44if I could put it that way,
24:45has cost you quite a lot of kindness
24:47and respect among your colleagues.
24:49You'll know that.
24:49Can you possibly recover from that?
24:51If you're the sort of person
24:53who worries about personal criticism,
24:56if you're the sort of person
24:57who allows the attacks from others
25:00to get under your skin,
25:01you shouldn't be leader.
25:04Wow.
25:06I mean, I'm still picking my jaw up off the ground.
25:08This is Michael Gove
25:10plunging a dagger into the background,
25:12side head of Boris Johnson,
25:14raising basically questions
25:16about his character, his credibility,
25:19but the really damaging part of this is
25:22he may well have kiboshed
25:23Boris Johnson's leadership ambitions.
25:27Boris, has Michael Gove betrayed you?
25:30I know, I know, I know, I know.
25:31Has Michael Gove, your friend, let you down?
25:33He says he doesn't trust you.
25:35Come on, have it.
25:36Come on, let's have it.
25:36Let's have it.
25:37Come on, here.
25:38Now, Boris has a big decision to make.
25:41Should he still run to be prime minister
25:44and risk losing...
25:45What do you make of Michael Gove's intervention?
25:48I'm here to back Boris.
25:49I'm not talking about any other candidates.
25:51...or step down and wait for a better moment?
25:55The problem with that
25:56is it would be letting down
25:58all the MPs
25:59who have publicly backed him,
26:01betting their careers on his success.
26:05Immediately, you just go into the mode of,
26:07kind of, how are we going to do this?
26:08Is he going to stand?
26:10There was an argument that, you know,
26:11Boris was the great campaigner,
26:12he could turn this around.
26:14The truth is he'd lost 60 MPs.
26:16I think it was going to be very difficult for him to win.
26:20I was the first MP ever
26:22to write a public article saying
26:24that he was our witty winner.
26:26I wrote that in 2012.
26:29It's blindingly obvious.
26:32Even then,
26:33this person is going to be the next prime minister.
26:42Good morning, everybody.
26:43Good morning.
26:45Good morning.
26:47Good morning, everybody.
26:48Thank you very much.
26:50Thank you, everyone.
26:51Come eat.
26:55Thank you very much, everybody.
26:56Thank you very much, everybody,
26:57for coming along this morning.
26:58It's great to see so many people here.
27:00It is vital now
27:02to see this moment
27:03for what it is.
27:07It is not a crisis.
27:10This is not a time
27:12for wobbling
27:13or self-doubt.
27:15But it's a moment
27:16for hope
27:18and ambition
27:19for Britain.
27:21Suddenly,
27:22I realised that
27:23there was a point in the speech
27:25and I was thinking,
27:25hang on,
27:26he'd just written the speech
27:27before he went in
27:28but I'd seen an earlier draft
27:29and I said,
27:30I'm not supposed to be saying that.
27:31That is the agenda
27:32for the next
27:33prime minister
27:34of this country.
27:36Well, I must tell you,
27:37my friends,
27:39you who have waited faithfully
27:41for the punchline
27:42of this speech,
27:44I have
27:46concluded
27:46that person
27:48cannot be me.
27:52Thank you all very much.
28:18I got in the car with him
28:22and we headed to the home
28:24in Islington.
28:29And within 15 minutes
28:30of that journey,
28:31he looked to me
28:32and he said,
28:33I made the wrong decision.
28:34Should never have backed out.
28:54In July 2016,
28:57Theresa May becomes prime minister
28:59and Boris
29:00is out in the cold.
29:04Do we have a plan
29:05for Brexit?
29:07We do.
29:09Are we ready
29:10for the effort
29:11it will take?
29:12We are.
29:15Can Boris Johnson
29:16stay on message
29:17for a full four days?
29:28Boris?
29:30Just about.
29:35I can slay this.
29:42Boris is an incredibly competitive person.
29:46I remember
29:47my sister, Rachel,
29:47telling me a story
29:48that when I think
29:50she was four
29:51and Boris was five,
29:53it was her birthday party
29:55and she got up
29:57on the table
29:57to make a speech.
29:59Boris became so incensed
30:01that she was momentarily
30:03the centre of attention
30:04that he leapt up
30:05on the table
30:06and threw her
30:07off the table
30:07and started making
30:09a speech himself.
30:10You know,
30:11absolute yearning
30:12for the spotlight.
30:15In this tricky
30:16new world for Boris,
30:18he's waiting to know
30:19what boat he'll be in.
30:22Will she let him stew
30:24on the back benches
30:26or give him a job
30:27in the cabinet?
30:28I can remember
30:30sitting with Boris
30:31here in Parliament.
30:33I said,
30:34what are you doing, mate?
30:35And he said,
30:35well, I'm googling
30:36government departments
30:37to find out
30:39which departments
30:40have a bigger budget
30:41than London
30:41because if I got offered
30:43a job,
30:43I wouldn't want
30:44to take a job
30:45where there was
30:46less responsibility
30:47than being mayor of London.
30:49And while I was there,
30:51the phone rang
30:52and it was Theresa May.
31:00I think his view
31:01was he was going
31:02to be kind of
31:02minister for paperclips
31:03if anything
31:03and should he accept
31:05that job.
31:11But I think
31:12he didn't expect
31:13what then happened.
31:16I think he might have
31:17rung
31:18and he was just like,
31:19I'm the effing
31:21foreign secretary.
31:29Theresa May has shocked
31:31the world
31:32by appointing
31:33Boris Johnson
31:34as her foreign secretary.
31:36He's not exactly
31:37seen as a safe
31:38pair of hands.
31:39He's entertaining
31:40but hardly diplomatic.
31:41Foreign secretary
31:42has just been announced
31:43as Boris Johnson.
31:46World leaders
31:47thought he was a buffoon.
31:49The State Department
31:50official brief,
31:52he laughed
31:54because he didn't
31:54think it was true.
31:55But he's nothing
31:56if not the great survivor
31:57and he just thought,
31:59well, I'm going
31:59to prove them wrong.
32:01Wait there.
32:03One second.
32:03Boris will be working
32:04with Sir Simon MacDonald,
32:06the Foreign Office's
32:08most experienced
32:09diplomat.
32:09Prince of the United States.
32:11Hi.
32:11Oh, it's fine.
32:13Oh, it's fine.
32:13Oh, it's fine.
32:15Don't worry.
32:15That's fine.
32:16Yes, I do.
32:17Yes, how are you?
32:17Oh, very well.
32:18Can we last met him?
32:19He was clearly
32:20a different sort
32:22of politician.
32:23He was more relaxed,
32:25he was very confident
32:26and he was more quirky.
32:31And so,
32:32a big personality
32:34means the possibility
32:35of big surprises.
32:38And I didn't know
32:39what they would be
32:40but I had worked out
32:43that professional life
32:44would be interesting.
32:58foreign secretary,
32:59four months ago,
33:00you wrote a poem
33:01that described
33:01the president of Turkey
33:02as a wankerer.
33:04Are you going to apologize?
33:06You've accused the current
33:07U.S. President Barack Obama
33:09of harboring a part Kenyan's
33:10quote,
33:12ancestral dislike
33:13for the British Empire.
33:14You've described
33:15the possible future
33:16U.S. President Hillary Clinton
33:17as someone with quote,
33:19dyed blonde hair
33:20and pouty lips
33:20and a steely blue stare
33:22like a sadistic nurse
33:23in a mental hospital,
33:24unquote.
33:26There is such a rich thesaurus
33:29now of things
33:30that I've said
33:31that it would really
33:32take me too long
33:33to engage in a full
33:35global itinerary
33:36of apology
33:37to all concerned.
33:39Our ambassador,
33:41the EU in Brussels,
33:42had the privilege
33:43of going to Oxford
33:44with Boris.
33:44And he told me
33:45that this man
33:47is a very smart
33:49and capable man.
33:52That's the Boris Johnson
33:53that I have met
33:54and we intend
33:55to make good things
33:56happen together.
33:57Stop that.
34:00That's great.
34:02It's called diplomacy.
34:03That's fantastic.
34:04It's going well.
34:06It's going well, John.
34:07Thank you very much.
34:10One of the things
34:12that people knew
34:13about Boris Johnson
34:14was that he had
34:15ripe opinions
34:17about foreigners.
34:18So this was something
34:20we had to consider
34:22because it was possible
34:25that those groups
34:26would take offence.
34:27And I remember
34:29very early on
34:30discussing this.
34:32And what I suggested
34:34to him was that
34:35all of that
34:37had been in the past.
34:38He'd been a journalist.
34:40He'd been interested
34:41in selling copy.
34:42And he looked at me
34:45and he said,
34:47Simon,
34:48yes,
34:49that's a good idea.
34:51And if we were talking
34:52about anyone else,
34:54that would be
34:55a reasonable idea.
34:57But we're talking about me
34:59and I won't change.
35:03Boris's approach
35:04has consequences.
35:06He wrongly describes
35:07the work of Nazanin
35:08Zaghari-Rakliff,
35:10a British-Iranian
35:11political prisoner,
35:13and jeopardises
35:14her release.
35:24And when he visits Burma,
35:27where a genocide
35:28is taking place,
35:30he casually starts
35:31quoting Kipling
35:32and overshadows
35:33and overshadows
35:34the diplomatic mission.
35:35come you back
35:36rather than
35:36reading yourself.
35:48There's a sense
35:50that Boris
35:51isn't taking the job
35:52seriously enough.
35:55What do you think,
35:56Andrew?
35:57Well,
35:58it's a great mystery
35:58about who did it.
36:00Nobody seems
36:01to have seen it happen.
36:02Well,
36:03they've had three tours
36:04this week.
36:12Boris's view
36:13of being
36:13Foreign Secretary
36:14was that he was
36:14put in an expensive
36:15cigar tube
36:16playing around the world
36:17and kept out of touch
36:18with British politics
36:19for a couple of years.
36:20It was a very clever
36:21tactical move
36:22by Theresa May.
36:25Are you having
36:25any work
36:26for the British
36:26citizens again,
36:27Boris?
36:28Mr. Johnson,
36:29do you think
36:30the Prime Minister
36:30can deliver
36:31a Brexit deal?
36:33A few minutes ago,
36:35Downing Street
36:36put out this statement.
36:38This afternoon,
36:39the Prime Minister
36:40accepted the resignation
36:41of Boris Johnson
36:42as Foreign Secretary.
36:44The Prime Minister
36:46thanked Boris
36:47for his work.
36:48Well,
36:48a pretty short
36:49and curt statement
36:50there from number 10.
36:53Frustrated
36:53with Theresa May's
36:54Brexit negotiations
36:55and his own
36:57political ambitions
36:58being thwarted,
36:59Boris shocks the world
37:01by quitting.
37:02throwing May's government
37:03into turmoil.
37:04Who's running the country,
37:06Prime Minister?
37:08Boris is out
37:09of the Cabinet
37:09and returns
37:11to the back benches
37:12to strategise
37:13his next move.
37:25Johnson and I knew
37:26about the Spectator
37:28started out
37:29as a sort of
37:31liberal cosmopolitan figure
37:32and found that
37:34political space
37:36kept on opening up
37:37for him to the right.
37:38The same thing
37:39was happening
37:40across the Atlantic
37:41with Trump
37:42populists,
37:44a new breed
37:45of authoritarian
37:47populist
37:49right-wing leaders
37:51that were votes
37:52to be found
37:53in taking
37:54far-right positions.
37:56This is all calculated,
37:58I should think.
37:58He knows he goes down
37:59very well amongst
38:00Tory activists.
38:04They look like letterboxes,
38:06Boris Johnson wrote on Monday.
38:08He even compared women
38:09who wear them
38:10to bank robbers,
38:12though he insisted
38:13that unlike some states,
38:15Britain shouldn't
38:16ban the burqa.
38:18Dominating everything today
38:20is, of course,
38:21the Boris Burqa row.
38:23The Guardian,
38:24front page,
38:25Johnson should apologise
38:26for offensive burqa remark.
38:28The Times,
38:29May calls on Johnson
38:30to apologise
38:30for burqa letterbox remark.
38:33The Mirror,
38:34spineless.
38:34Boris Johnson is probably
38:35sitting at home
38:36with a glass of whiskey,
38:37watching this,
38:38quite happy
38:38that he's being talked about.
38:40Man, Boris,
38:41what happened
38:41to freedom of speech?
38:43You know,
38:43he's actually done this
38:45because he wants
38:45to get elected.
38:46This is what he's done
38:47to pander
38:48to the extreme right
38:49of the party.
38:51Racist remarks,
38:52Mr Speaker,
38:53which have led
38:54to a spike
38:54in hate crime.
38:55Mr Johnson,
38:56would you apologise
38:56for your comment?
38:57Will you have a cup of tea?
38:58Will you apologise
38:59for your comment?
38:59Would you like a cup of tea?
39:00If I have a cup of tea,
39:01will you answer my question?
39:03No, I'm here solely
39:04on a humanitarian mission
39:06because you've been here
39:07all day
39:08and you've been
39:08incredibly patient
39:09and I feel very sorry
39:11for you
39:11because I have nothing
39:12to say about this
39:13except offer you some tea.
39:14OK.
39:15OK?
39:16Go on.
39:16OK, thank you.
39:18Thank you so much.
39:19Go on.
39:19Let me see you
39:19to bring it back.
39:21No worries.
39:22Take care.
39:24You're all right.
39:26That's it, OK?
39:28People say,
39:28oh, politicians
39:29should be careful
39:30what they say
39:30and they should watch
39:31their words
39:31and all this
39:31sort of mumbo-jumbo.
39:32I don't agree.
39:33I really don't.
39:34Even if it's offensive?
39:35I think one of the reasons...
39:36Even if it's offensive,
39:37Mr Johnson.
39:38I don't want to cause
39:38offence
39:39if I can possibly avoid it.
39:40Well, then don't refer
39:41to them as bank robbers.
39:42Well, you know, I think...
39:42You just said you would again.
39:43I think that one of the duties
39:46of a politician
39:47is to speak his mind
39:48or her mind
39:48in so far as possible.
40:07I've got the world
40:09on a string
40:11sitting on a rainbow
40:14Got the string
40:17around my face
40:22It's been two and a half years
40:24since Boris withdrew
40:26from the race
40:26to become leader
40:28of the Conservative Party.
40:31Now, with new support
40:33from right-wing MPs
40:35and with Theresa May
40:37coming under increasing scrutiny,
40:39Boris starts to position himself
40:42as the next Prime Minister.
40:44Beautiful thing!
40:47As long as I hold a string
40:51I'd be a silly so-and-so
40:55If I should ever let it go
41:00I've got the world
41:01on a string
41:02Sitting on a rainbow
41:05Almost a year
41:06since he resigned
41:07from her government,
41:09Boris helps topple Theresa May.
41:12I will shortly leave the job
41:14that it has been
41:15the honour of my life
41:17to hold
41:17with enormous
41:19and enduring gratitude
41:20to have had the opportunity
41:22to serve the country
41:24I love.
41:38In the next hour
41:39we'll find out
41:40who's won the race
41:41to become the new leader
41:41of the Conservative Party
41:43and the UK's next Prime Minister.
41:47It's July 2019
41:52and the UK waits to discover
41:54the identity
41:55of its new Prime Minister.
41:58Bullets to Boris!
42:01You are not fit to govern!
42:04There is no way
42:05you should be Prime Minister!
42:09This time
42:10Boris is up against
42:12Jeremy Hunt.
42:18Stanley, can I just ask you
42:19which one of your sons
42:20are we going to get
42:21as Prime Minister?
42:22People in Berkha's
42:23look like letterboxes
42:24or the open London mayor
42:25that people saw years ago?
42:27Now team...
42:28Don't you want to answer that?
42:29Isn't it lunchtime?
42:31Are you getting on
42:31for lunchtime?
42:32I think I'll see where you're getting there.
42:35That's what I was thinking.
42:36What would make you proud
42:37as a father?
42:37What kind of Boris
42:38would you like to see?
42:39I'm very proud.
42:40That's fine by me.
42:41I'll stick on what I've got.
42:43I'm really, really fine.
42:44I'm totally proud.
42:48Despite Stanley's show
42:49of public support,
42:51the Johnson family
42:52remains divided.
42:56Rachel has quit
42:58the Conservative Party.
43:03And Boris's brother,
43:04Joe,
43:05has been campaigning
43:06in favour
43:07of a second referendum.
43:13It's a proud thing
43:14to be given
43:15the office
43:16of Prime Minister of Britain.
43:19As for courage,
43:21character,
43:22I know the British people
43:24have these in full measure.
43:26I have only one thing to say.
43:29You turn if you want to.
43:38Some people say
43:39where the pawn shop
43:40trumps.
43:42I don't like
43:43the politics
43:43of what's going on.
43:44Sort of every day
43:45is like a schizophrenic
43:47nightmare.
43:49But I care about him
43:50as a sibling.
43:55Of course,
43:56there are tensions
43:57in any family
43:58and their relationships
44:00must be quite tortured.
44:02They disagree
44:03over quite a lot.
44:05And in some ways,
44:07the psychodrama
44:08within the Johnson clan
44:10is a reflection
44:12of the wider
44:14psychodrama
44:14within the country.
44:16So Brexit
44:17versus Remain,
44:18chaos versus order.
44:21They're a mirror
44:22up to society
44:23in a way.
44:29Ladies and gentlemen,
44:30please welcome
44:30Jeremy Hubs
44:31and Boris Johnson.
44:51I, Dame Cheryl Gillan,
44:54declare that
44:55the total number
44:56of votes
44:57given to each candidate
44:58was as follows.
45:01Jeremy Hunt
45:0346,656
45:07Boris Johnson
45:0992,153
45:13And therefore,
45:15I give notice
45:15that Boris Johnson
45:17is elected
45:18as the leader
45:19of the Conservative
45:20and Unionist Party.
45:29at last,
45:31Boris has achieved
45:32his dream.
45:34He is leader
45:35of the Conservative Party
45:36and Prime Minister
45:39of the United Kingdom.
45:41Thank you very much.
45:43Thank you very much.
45:45Good morning, everybody.
45:48Thank you, everybody.
45:50I want to thank
45:51all of you
45:52obviously for the
45:53extraordinary honour
45:54and privilege
45:55that you have just
45:57conferred on me
45:58and I know
45:59that there will be
46:01people around the place
46:04who will question
46:05the wisdom
46:06of your decision.
46:09I say to all
46:10the doubters,
46:11dude,
46:11we are going
46:12to energise
46:13the country.
46:14We're going to
46:14get Brexit done
46:15on October 31st.
46:16We're going to
46:16take advantage
46:17of all the opportunities
46:17that it will bring
46:18in a new spirit
46:20of can-do.
46:21I will work
46:22flat out from now
46:23on to repay
46:24your confidence
46:25but in the meantime
46:25the campaign
46:27is over
46:28and the work
46:28begins.
46:29Thank you all
46:30very much.
46:37when he was about
46:38four years old
46:39he was asked
46:39what would you
46:40like to be
46:40when you grew up
46:41and he said
46:41world king.
46:44He's not a good
46:44loser, you know?
46:46That's why he's won
46:48because the spoils
46:50go to the person
46:51who wants them most.
47:19He's not a good
