Boris Johnson: Blond Ambition (2017x78)

Uitzenddatum: Okt 01, 2017

For over a year Channel 4 has followed one of Britain's most well-known, colourful and controversial politicians: Alexander Boris de Pfeffel Johnson. The Godfather of Brexit is once again on manoeuvres. As he makes his latest play to realise his long-held dream to be Prime Minster, Channel 4 News Political Editor Gary Gibbon charts 14 months of Boris's time as Foreign Secretary. How does our most unlikely chief diplomat carve out a reputation as a world statesman and navigate his way through monumental gaffes, U-turns and constant public slap-downs from Theresa May? And crucially, what does Boris's first ever spell in high office tell us about whether he has what it takes to lead on the national stage?
