With British Prime Minister Boris Johnson on the way out, critics are highlighting the controversies and ridicule that have plagued him throughout his political career.
During his eight years as London’s bicycle-riding mayor, it was an open secret that Boris Johnson had ambitions to eventually make it to 10 Downing Street.
When the momentous Brexit referendum opened up the job, Johnson lost out to Theresa May. But he was ready to pounce again when she failed to get the U.K. out of the European Union (EU).
He promised MPs and voters he’d “get Brexit done” — and he did, signing off an EU exit deal that remains contentious and unresolved.
From COVID-19 to European politics, Global’s Redmond Shannon looks at the rise and fall of a man who never let convention get in the way of ambition.
