In a country obsessed with gossip, the great and the good fear one thing more than any other - scandal. British scandals change the course of history. They bring down governments, overthrow the rich and cause the mighty to fall. Some are about sex, others about money. In the end, they're all about power. But often at the heart of a scandal, there are ordinary human stories. Stories of those caught up in the swirl of outrage.

Hi listeners, here's a podcast we think you'll love. It's British Scandal, hosted by Alice Levine and Matt Forde. This season they're telling the story of a man who maybe more than anyone else embodies the British Scandal main character – the ego, the ambition, the delusional self-belief.  We will delve into Boris's backstory to find out what drives him. How did Boris Johnson become the man he is today? And what does it say about Britain that we helped him on his way to success – voted for him, gave him power, laughed along at his jokes – and only realised our mistake once it was too late?

In the week to end all weeks, we've lurched from the shortest prime ministerial era *ever* to the potential return of the last PM... who's only been an ex-PM for 45 days. The race to be our next Conservative Prime Minister is well and truly on (again!). Leader of the House of Commons Penny Mordaunt has already thrown her hat into the ring, and the rumour is that former Chancellor Rishi Sunak will follow too. 
Jon and Lewis speak to former Special Advisor to Boris Johnson, Henry Newman, about whether the ex-PM will run, and what it means for the party. And Matt Forde, of the British Scandal podcast, joins Lewis and Jon in the studio to talk about the blurred lines between politics and comedy... and why, if you don't laugh sometimes, you'll cry.
