Martha sits down with former British Prime Minister Boris Johnson to discuss the thought process behind both of these view points, the political dynamics between the U.S., the U.K., and Israel as they stand against mutual adversaries, and how he feels about the current British government under Prime Minister Keir Starmer.

William Crawley looks at Boris Johnson's first day giving evidence at the Covid Inquiry.
Campaigner Brenda Doherty and George Parker, Political Editor at the Financial Times, discuss the upcoming appearance of former British Prime Minister, Boris Johnson, before the UK Covid Inquiry.
Former UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson faced tough questions in his first of two days of questioning at the inquiry into the country's Covid-19 response. Johnson was in the top job as the pandemic took hold in 2020 and has been sharply criticised for his decision making - or lack of it - by experts, scientists and fellow ministers. From the very beginning of the hearing, Johnson faced an icy reception as a protestor interrupted his apology. BBC UK Political Correspondent Rob Watson spoke to Corin Dann.
An inquiry into the UK's response to the Covid-19 pandemic is underway and has exposed damning information about the Conservative government's approach. Tuesday's hearing revealed that current Prime Minister, Rishi Sunak, said that the government should just "let people die", and former PM Boris Johnson argued that the UK should just "let it all rip". Sir Chris Whitty, the UK's Chief Medical Officer, who praised civil servants for their work in what he described as a "chaotic" situation. However, he also said that other countries were likely experiencing chaos too. Correspondent Stuart Smith spoke to Corin Dann.

UK correspondent Matt Dathan joins Kathryn to talk about the revelations emerging from the Covid inquiry, including some foul-mouthed rants in messages from Dominic Cummings, the former aide to PM Boris Johnson. The target of his ire, former deputy cabinet secretary Helen MacNamara has herself testified today that a "macho" culture harmed the UK's pandemic response. Meanwhile some of the biggest tech companies are attending Prime Minister Rishi Sunak's summit on the risks of artificial intelligence.
If you pitched the story we discuss in this episode as a fictional film script you'd be laughed out of the room … so shocking, so unlikely is this tale of crisis.In 2005 Steve Gallant was convicted of the brutal revenge murder of a man he claimed had attacked his then girlfriend. After being sentenced to life in prison, with a minimum 17-year term, Steve made a vow to never again use violence. He kept that vow for 14 and a half years until, on November 29th 2019, he was allowed out on day release for the first time to attend an educational event at Fishmonger's Hall near London Bridge. On that day Usman Khan, a former prisoner, unleashed terror – killing two young graduates Jack Merritt and Saskia Jones. Steve, along with two others, confronted Khan, who was wearing what turned out to be a fake suicide vest, and chased him out of the building, bizarrely using huge Narwhal tusks and a fire extinguisher. With no concern for their own safety, they took him down before armed police then ended his life.The reaction to Steve's incredible bravery was mixed. For some, including then PM Boris Johnson, he was lauded as a hero. But for others it raised questions about his rehabilitation … about whether his reactions on that day demonstrated a continued willingness to use violence.Steve was eventually awarded the Queen's Medal for Gallantry and granted a Royal Prerogative of Mercy, reducing his minimum term by 10 months. He details his time in prison, essentially a story of change in the face of daily crisis, in his compelling new book The Road To London Bridge. And in this conversation we explore his journey – from a difficult and violent childhood, through the shame of his appalling crime, his determination to change as he navigated his way through the prison system, to that day of truly astounding, instinctive bravery.This is a crisis conversation unlike any we have had. My thanks to Steve for joining us.Steve's Crisis Comforts 1. Perspective – Knowing what you have and understanding there is always someone worse off than you.2. Cup of tea – I love Yorkshire tea bags. You can't beat it. Yorkshire Tea was a lifesaver in prison.3.

It's time for episode 56 of the road.cc Podcast. Last weekend, just in case you were doing your best to avoid the news, Rishi Sunak promised the UK's motorists that he was “on their side”, as the Prime Minister ordered a review of Low Traffic Neighbourhoods in England. The review comes as the debate over green active travel policies continues to sharpen in the wake of the Conservative Party's win at the recent Uxbridge and South Ruislip by-election (called following the departure of the famously active travel-friendly PM Boris Johnson), a narrow victory credited to the Tory opposition to Labour mayor Sadiq Khan's plans to extend London's Ultra-Low Emission Zone. Sunak's opposition to ULEZ and LTNs, the latest strategic manoeuvre in the pre-general election battleground, isn't the only move away from the green active travel policies held by his party in recent years, with the Prime Minister also recently hinting at plans to push back the date that sales of new petrol and diesel-powered cars will be banned, while funding for cycling infrastructure – including the new government body Active Travel England – has also taken a hit during his tenure in charge.In the second part of the latest episode of the road.cc Podcast, Jack, Simon, and Ryan sit round the table to discuss what Sunak's latest pro-driver pledges mean for the next general election, how they represent a shift away from past Conservative policy on cycling, active travel, and climate change (led by Johnson), and what impact they could have on the future landscape of cycling in the UK. Before we get to all that political chicanery, Ryan chats with Bristol couple Anna and Mark Cordle, who recently made the headlines after they set up a parking space for their family cargo bike outside their home – which, a year after it was installed, has been the subject of threats by the local council to remove it… because it was taking up a car parking space.In a really interesting discussion which touches on the differing perceptions and treatment of people who ride bikes to get around compared to those who use cars, Anna and Mark detail the reasons why they needed the space for their young family, how it was greeted by their neighbours, their current struggle against the council, and why planter-based bike parking spaces may provide an organic way forward for active travel in the UK's cities.
The Conservatives have suffered two heavy defeats by Labour and the Lib Dems, but have narrowly held on to former PM Boris Johnson's old Uxbridge seat, after a night of three dramatic by-election results. Today's Nick Robinson speaks to Labour's Deputy Leader Angela Rayner, Conservative Chairman Greg Hands and Liberal Democrat Deputy Leader Daisy Cooper. There's also analysis from polling expert Prof Sir John Curtice and the BBC's Political Editor Chris Mason.
The Conservatives suffered two heavy defeats in a night of three by-elections, but narrowly held on to former PM Boris Johnson's old Uxbridge seat. Labour made history by overturning a 20,137 majority to take the North Yorkshire seat of Selby and Ainsty. The Lib Dems took Somerton and Frome in a victory Sir Ed Davey said showed his party was "firmly back in the West Country". On the Sky News Daily, Niall Paterson is joined by political editor Beth Rigby and elections analyst Dr Hannah Bunting to break down the votes from each of the constituencies, and to look ahead to what this can tell us about the next general election.

"There's only one word that describes the parties held at number 10 during lockdown. It's not Partygate; its Clusterf**k" Guto Harri, a trusted advisor to then PM Boris Johnson explains his account of what went on behind the shiny black door of No.10 Downing Street. As the evidence against the PM mounted and the country's love/hate relationship with him increasingly turned to anger and disgust, Guto gives us exclusive access to what was happening inside No.10. Why did Boris deny the parties took place? What did he think of Sue Grey and was there ever a route for him to cling on to his position?

Fraser Nelson, Editor of The Spectator, reports on former British Prime Minister Boris Johnson's appearance in front of a Westminster committee inquiry.

With a mere couple of hours notice that Ukraine's President Zelensky was in town, The News Agents dropped everything to get to Westminster Hall to hear him address both houses of Parliament. A speech that began with gracious tributes quickly got to its blunt point: A request for 'wings' - fighter jets - which the US and UK previously turned down. So will this historic demand change the minds of the world leaders? In the hall were both the PM and former PM Boris Johnson. Zelensky paid thanks to both. But The News Agents heard murmurings that Boris Johnson was muttering - all the way through the speech - about Rishi.

The final episode of Season 1 of AYBSA/Grace & Favour! (But we still have Season 2 to go). We had an unauthorized travel expense from official Research Unpaid Intern J.J. (but he sends us a report from LONDON anyway). An AYBS tattoo in “The Theatre of the Mind”!? Superfan Patrick suggests that Mollie Sugden as Mrs. Slocombe sounded snooty in the original series but not as much in AYBS-Again. Why? Mr. Jeff sings! Wayne's World and Cops on 90's TV. The gayest moment on the podcast ever! “A trice” - Professor Jeff explains that refers to an old fashioned type of pully. “In a trice” = “in a jiffy”. Mrs. Slocombe reconciders delivering the breakfast tray to handsy Mr. Webster in a throw-back joke. Mr. Conklyn wants Mr. Humphry's help in the bath. The Americans don't have vitality, personality, or youth. “One For My Baby” sung by Bette Midler as the final act for Johnny Carson's “The Tonight Show” on American TV. “Sausage” = “sausage and mash” = Cockney rhyming slang = “cash”. Mr. Humphries milks Bessie the milk cow. Where is the Valley of the Queens?! Tiddles is a cougar, apparently. Harrods delivers to Northern Mississippi! The staff create a church service with Slocombe pumping the organ (and the blacksmith). The dentures are missing! The “Benny Hill” song played during PM Boris Johnson's resignation speech. Mavis is willing for a shilling?! The Harvest Dance! Mavis is the “caller” just like in American Square Dancing (which might have been evolved from Somerset Harvest Dances in England?) Capt. Peacock plays an apple tree from “The Wizard of Oz”. The “Somerset” farmer costumes in “Roots” look the same as in the Harvest Dance in this episode!

Suzi talks to Dean of Berkeley School of Law Erwin Chemerinsky about the just completed Supreme Court term, handing down decisions that overturned vast areas of law. The Court's decisions ignored settled law and took away a Constitutional right in the Dobbs decision overturning Roe v Wade. Chemerinsky argues that this court did not follow a judicial methodology, legal principles, or precedents: instead, a conservative majority on the court is making the Republican Party platform Constitutional law. We get Erwin's analysis and ask what can be done.Turning to the UK, Suzi talks to Tariq Ali about the saga of PM Boris Johnson's resignation—brought down by Tory ministers who decided Johnson's personality and unethical conduct had gotten in the way of his politics, which they mostly support. Tariq Ali says that the Tories have been ruthless in dumping Prime Ministers who might lose them the next election, like Thatcher, May, and now Johnson – but Labour is only ruthless in removing a Leader who poses a threat to the extreme center. Under Keir Starmer, Labour has not challenged Johnson's political record, or presented an attractive alternative to the Tories, so Boris Johnson is going, but Britain is still stuck with the same rightwing politics. We get Tariq's view. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Boris Johnson has resigned as British Prime Minister. The Conservative will step down when a new leader is found, but some members of his party want him to go immediately. On World Business Report, we take a health check of the UK economy, hearing from Europe and the markets on what they'd like to see happen next in British Politics.
British Prime Minister Boris Johnson survived a vote of no confidence from the ruling Conservative Party.

Also on the programme- one of the rarest ancient violins comes up for auction. We'll hear from the last person to play it. (Photo: British Prime Minister Boris Johnson. Credit: Getty)
