Hasta La Vista, Baby: The Rise and Fall of Boris Johnson - BBC News

- Опубликовано: 1 сен 2022
- We are coming to the end of one of the most singular post war Premierships - and the demise of a Prime Minister who entered No10 just over three years ago, saying his mission was to restore Britain's faith in itself.
The following December, Boris Johnson won the biggest Conservative victory since Margaret Thatcher swept to power in 1987. Newsnight reflects on the recent meteoric rise, and spectacular fall of the man.
Was he entirely the architect of his own misfortune, or is that wide of the mark? The chronicler of Prime Ministers, Michael Cockerell, famously charted Boris Johnson's journey to the top in a landmark documentary almost a decade ago.
As we enter the final days of the Johnson era Newsnight asked him to update the story and assess the prime minister's fall and legacy.

I could hear Michael Cockerell read the phone directory all day long. What a voice!
I don’t think I’d be too keen on him reading my kids bedtime stories. It for me brings to mind some other unmentionable figures who were in the broadcasting business.
Imo, his computer generated voice is being used on the ‘Old Money Luxury’ channel on Utbe

50+ MPs resignation is the opposite of a successful PM.
50 MPs haven't resigned. Are you mad or just plain stupid?
Against their voters who voted Boris Johnson as prime minister.
It was successful until Partygate
His only manifesto pledge was to get brexit done…. Are we not out of the EU at the moment? There’s your answer to whether he was a success or not… he fulfilled what he pledged to do to the voters who voted for him 👍🏿
@@TheAudaciousAdventurer Yes, and then the BBC started their anti Boris campaign because his cabinet took the overdue decision of scrapping the BBC/TV licence fee. The sad thing is that many of the less experienced Tory MPs fell for the media campaign and pushed him out. They forgot that he is popular with the public and that is more important than being popular at the BBC.
"The people want someone they can relate to, and they can relate to someone who gets stuck on a zipwire or someone who has their shirt hanging out, because that's what they do every day of their lives"
Ok Nadine, Ok... 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I liked this comment whilst stuck on my zip line I take to and from work.
bro, it does sound ridiculous,, but it is true. do not take yourself as point of reference. furthermore these things said out loud sound outrageous, almost insulting, yet these thing matter in the subconscious when you read the Sun or the daily mail or whatever tabloid.
Why not……..reminds us all that this life is not perfect
You and I tread in a life that is full of lack
Faulty
And not perfect
That’s the beauty of it
Errr, ok many relate to Hitler , Sadam or the Yorkshire Ripper.
Perhaps we can get some government sponsored courses in place"!
I honestly do not think a girl can relate to getting a dick caught in a zip so that cuts out 50%
The amount of anyone ever stuck in a zip wire?, even just girls that did not have dicks to get hung up in Zip wires ?
Ikr, way to call the entire British population stupid
Michael Cockerell is one of the most astute political journalists in a generation. I look forward to a longer and more comprehensive analysis.
No, he isn't. He's crap and a liar, like most journalists.
if Michael Cockerell read my high school textbooks, i'd have been in oxford by now.
bojos favourite song
"it's my party and I'll lie if I want too "
Promoted far beyond his abilities
Classic example of the Peter Principal.
A British broadcaster on "The rise and fall of Boris Johnson". I think it would have been fair if they'd pointed out that Boris Johnson only had a "rise" in England. In the 2019 general election the Welsh electorate voted in a majority of Labour MPs, in Northern Ireland they voted away from unionist parties and in Scotland the tories lost more than half their seats.
On a manifesto that he FAILED to deliver. This country is a shambles thanks to this traitor. This Communist government needs to go
That’s not how it works.
well his vote leave campaign did win in England and Wales
@@muckraker7942 So how does it work then? Or do you think that England should just ignore the other three constituent parts of the Union? If you subscribe to that opinion, then the Union is already dead, as it's supposed to be an alliance of EQUALS! Yet somehow most English people seem to think that Scotland, Wales & Northern Ireland don't count, or aren't worthy of this equality and should just shut up and do as they're told by a Westminster Government that is increasingly out of touch with the reality of it's citizens.
In the 53 years of my life, there has NEVER been a Tory majority in Scotland. Boris has been the best impetus in recent years for Scottish Independence and Liz Truss will only continue that trend as she intends to continue in the same mould as Boris!
@@muckraker7942 You're right - that's not how it works. But shouldn't it? The electorate of three out of four nations were not impressed with Johnson's rhetoric - yet Michael Cockerell didn't consider it worth mentioning.
nadine dorries is such a comical figure. like a parody 😂😂😂 i kinda love it actually.
she started talking like they were a couple at one point and had to quickly correct herself
@@mattyfrommacc1554 i thought it was a mockumentary 😂😂
This man cant stop having a party 😂 he loves em
Yes we can all relate to a posh public school boy with his shirt hanging out of their trousers 😂
In your dreams perhaps but I preferred the girls schools in Windsor.
I know that may sound a little sexist butt (and I do mean butt) i will risk it..
I am a guy that likes girls.
OK, I came out in public , never said it before.
My family and friends may be devastated i am straight, white, and disabled, but I try to hide it from them if possible.
I hide the fact that I was was disabled for a long time even though I only had one leg..I was a bit of a master of disguise..
True , `i had a friend in Eton, but I also had 2 friends at Oxford that were willing to refute the connection if required .
I also had 2 friends at Cambridge as fall backs, but never used them once they lost the boat race some years back.
I am pretty sure none of them know I am white but it will only be time that the truth comes out. Wish me luck guys.
An Eton mess.
its allways great to hear michael cockerell's amazing voice
Ah yes Nadine, my everyday life is getting stuck on a zip wire come to think of it.
The statue of George Orwell outside the BBC begs to differ from Boris's belief that "No one puts up statues to journalists". But I doubt Boris will be much remembered a few decades from now.
What about the statue of a ped@ outside the bbc?
He’ll be remembered for helping get Brexit done but will always be second fiddle in this regard to the fantastic Farage.
Vintage Bollinger is properly a troll. That person created the user within a fortnight.
@@nanorider426 but what's the problem with their post? You don't have to read "fantasti" as a compliment
So because you and I have a different opinion, I’m a troll?
You’re a laugh a minute pal.
The sequel of this video is gonna be like
I'm Back: The Revival of Boris Johnson😅
Whoever narrated this film is great. His mellifluous tones are perfect for such a job. It seems the BBC always use him to sum up the career of prime ministers and there impact (or lack of).
Sadly Johnson represents all that is shallow and insidious with our culture, a biased class system, the privileged few who rise to the top regardless of ability or talent. No wonder confidence in the system, be it political or otherwise is at its lowest ebb. No one with a brain cell seriously believes that this man is the best this country has to offer.
One hopes that things will change because they have too. A new aware generation with new ideas for change is our only hope. 🙏❤️.x
Boris Jhonson compering himself to Winston Churchill 😂😂😂
People will be here in 50 years time using this video to learn about Boris Johnson as part of school work.
I bet you're right.
Yes how not to run a country. They need to learn that.
Thanks for posting.
thanx BBC for this catch up piece. been taking a news fast since the Russian war and missed a lot of this.
"Oh, he's dreadful..."
Coming from Mark Drakeford that's pretty depressing, admittedly.
100% agree, however.
Some British people used to say that he's the UK version of Donald Trump.
An easy and simplistic comparison. In what way exactly? Nobody ever says. I’d say Boris is way more useless and has no guts at all.
Like a pair of bookends Trump and Boris. My brother by another mother is the modern saying.😂
"They can relate to someone who gets stuck on a zipwire, because that's what they do every day of their lives"
Contemptuous.
No, because the Tory government puts everybody out on a zip wire. and leaves them there.
Zips have got Boris into a few difficulties.
He has charisma. If nothing else, he has that.
I found this interesting due to the limited mention of and general lack of discussion around Brexit and it’s success or failure. The global media external of the UK talk about this all the time more now than ever and Boris Johnson was central. I wonder why the British media no longer talk about the largest single event that will shape Britains future. Let me think? Is it because it will reduce viewership or because people don’t want to hear that it may be one of the primary reasons the UK is more vulnerable to economic shocks than ever before. Now affecting peoples lives but hey ho the people won.
A laced beer keg of a topic!
Still scratching my head, unable to answer a simple question. Besides the general election, what has Boris Johnson achieved?. He's like Midas in an alternative universe. Everything he touched turned to shit.
his story isn't over.......watch him return ............scrambling up the muddy bank.....british people voted him in...remember???........
Brexit and Covid. Not saying he did the right thing, but he did big things and was a consequential Prime Minister (much more so than his three predecessors).
@@floozyofficial seriously?? I never knew Spaffer was responsible for covid. He was awol most of the time whilst his cronies cleaned up in PPE and failed track and trace contracts, whilst the UK led the way in covid deaths. Brexit is why Britain is the way it is today " the poor man of Europe. What has he done that's actually benefitted Britain?
@@terrychapman5335 I'm not saying he has benefited the nation, I am listing the brief but important things that made up his premiership.
@@terrychapman5335 The point of BREXIT is to distance the UK from the crap that is coming for the EU. It isn't about today, it is about making sure we don't get dragged down by the EU if/when it fails.
The woman in the white polka dot is utterly deluded. Can’t even be bothered to make an effort to learn her name.
The last few years have been fkn mental
Fact that it's Nadine Dorris that still supported him speaks volumes given how she went on to handle herself.
Great headline title :)
The Great Man Theory of history is fact, it's just overstated sometimes. Without certain individuals rising to the top of the power structure at certain moments, history would have happened differently. SOMETIMES events would have roughly paralleled themselves even if that leader had not arisen, but not in many cases.
None of what you have just commented applies to Boris he was without the most useless PM the UK has ever had he was never a leader.
The cream rises to the top. So does the scum.
Share that smoke please
But it doesn't mean it's a GOOD theory.
Incredible video
I wish Michael Cockerell would do more on the Beeeb!
Boris was so negligent, he didn't realise he was going to let 20,000 additional people die. Negligence that was due to his inability to do his job or care for others. Should he be held liable? We can't choose, we have no say
If labour had been in charge you could triple that figure as they would have given away half of our vaccine away.
20,000 is nothing in the grand scheme of things.

@@user.0704 In who's "grand scheme" ? Josef Stalin. Johnson is a mass murderer.
---- > Sorry to see PM Boris Johnson leave, who successfully navigated the UK through Brexit, a champion of democracy and human rights in his support of Ukraine..
From the outside he was fun at times, from the inside he was a catastrophe
For the country" a clown" seems to be it. From start to finish.
This is a compelling documentary!
Send him off to Tyburn
So beautiful Britain was
Before murderer Boris become PM.
Get him on universal credit and therese Coffey
Boris Johnson had worked so hard for UK that, he seemed to have no time even to comb his hairs.
Wrong
He used to ruffle it before going on show
his hair
@@fuckbankers that is how he fidgets.
History and our views of this man are already being rewritten by the likes of the so-called impartial BBC. If you just listen to the voice-over: it associates him with being a great man, compares him to Churchill, straight out calls him a winner and a hero. The voice-over at no point calls him a liar or a criminal. All the negative stuff that we all came to loathe is allowed to be played down by his cronies with stuff pulled from their backsides. It's the bullet points that stick in people's heads and colour our views, and those were all subtly pro Johnson. I'm sure we're supposed to come away from this thinking he wasn't that bad really, we lost a great man there. This was barely a notch away from a conservative party political broadcast.
I don’t think so. The entire topic of the video is rightly anti-Johnson, so perhaps they stud it with these “bullet points” in order to try to balance it out.
I think you're missing the sardonic tone. Also, when the narrator says Johnson sees himself as the great man, he's not saying he is a Great Man.
@@hmq9052 I know that. Read my comment properly. I said it associates him with being a great man, and straight out calls him a winner. This means I didn't say they called him a great man. I think when it comes to affecting people's basic outlook, making simple associations is more powerful than spending an hour lecturing them. I didn't hear any sardonic tone when it called him a winner and a hero. I don't believe there was one. Besides, when Spitting Image constantly portrayed Thatcher as powerful, even though it was sardonic, it still ultimately portrayed her as powerful.
@@simonsimon325 How does it associate him with being a great man?
The BBC has an agenda also.
Is it not counterproductive to focus so much on a party in the face of serious geopolitical threats? How is that relevant long-term?
Good bye to Bad Rubbish
Is there anyone else any better? Ms. Truss and Sunak?
Hello Jane, how are you doing?
Try none of them.
A legend in his own mind.
when your positive references are from Dorries and his own sister.... bottom of barrel!
13:07 its like listening to David Brent
I don't know why but I am always obsessed with hair and comb.
I hope this video was okayd by the tories...
Pity about Boris..I prefer he stayed. Truss and Sunak can't fill his boots. When was the last time Tory PM finish there 5 yrs office before the fuck up in a epic way? Way bk
13:20 Nadine Dorries was 'just' speeding.
Boris’s greatest loss was the untimely departure of Dominic Cummings with his common sense advice, when on reflection his misdemeanour over breaking lockdown rules was more than trivial in the light of emerging evidence, he probably like myself knew it was all a ruse.
Boris was actually brought doWn by his wife, Princess Nut-Nut.
Churchill did make mistakes but he did not lie pathologically and wantonly ignore every rule that he met and certainly not every rule that he made. Winston was aware of his shortcomings and did not court publicity and public support with inconsiderate and/or underhand moves. He did not chase personal donations and did not secretly meet with shady people. He did not cut short official business and give his security the slip jeopardising national security by attending (with his then mistress) a drunken brawl hosted abroad by people who were using him and hoping for his national and international indiscretions . Actually, why has this enormous infringement not been thoroughly investigated yet?
Boris (an ill self preferred name) is indeed a "chancer" who has pushed his exceptionalism far too far, and with that he must accept that bad luck is part of the game and that it has turned up for him too!
But bill has his good points and bad. He was definitely a chancer but perhaps his greatest failing from the country’s perspective was his lack of commercial acumen.
Vintage Bollinger is properly a troll. That person created the user within a fortnight.
Out by his own means,well done Johnson.
I'm truly bewildered that the v thorny issue of the NI Protocol wasn't deemed important enough to mention. It's not gone away you know.......
Dorries…the delusion is strong with this one.
It’ll be dark times if we see a worse PM than Johnson in our lifetime.
Well, I guess there is Liz Truss.
@@iamkieranm Or Kier Starmer....
@@davidwebb2318 he would be better than anyone you had the last 5 years.
@@MegaKapo12 Don't make me laugh.
Liz truss be like : “hold my beer …”
Seems like quite an agitative title for a video, from a news outlet that is ostensibly non-partisan.
Hopefully the country won't get to this point where Boris is missed
We voted him in did we even know Liz Truss would she have been voted in by the public .
Enjoy your rest Boris
And I don’t think anyone will put up a statue for Boris.
Stay positive with Sherpa 🐶💖🐕🇬🇧
Boris: I'll be back!
Allegra’s casual arrogance, all made up in make-up, was in sharp contrast to her disheveled, contrite tears of rage and remorse.

@@vintagebollinger4439 Yeah, that´s what Arnie said, before every following "Terminator" got worse and worse.
Actually Terminator 2 was better than 1.
@@vintagebollinger4439 Not in my book. And the line you referred to came from Terminator 2 (which was okay of sorts), so I wouldn´t consider it a valid point.
Wouldn't trust him further than I can throw him.
the French point of view about this man is that he is interesting, original, different but also he really has the face of the guy who eats mint jelly every morning saying "Well well well" and that is quite stressful...
2:02 Surprise Surprise who do we have here: Baroness Dorries
No prime minister should be able to piss every single person in the country off at any one point, and get away with it.
When the government only get is our Boris is our leader! We voted him in to lead us and destroyed by his own party!
The Conservative Party will lose to labour once we don’t have a proper leader!
All I can say is bring back Boris!
I do not live in the UK I liked Boris Johnson he was a charismatic talker he could keep you interested with speeches
100%.
Can't stand the sight of him anymore though
If Churchill was still alive, he would be disgusted and dismayed that such a ruthless yet incompetent man could get into Downing Street, he would turn in his grave at how much of a laughing stock Johnson has made the UK into. Far from hasta la vista, the best words to sum up Johnson without doubt, is "good riddance,"
This guy hero world one guy
Well said.
Michael!!!!
I Hope Boris lives long............ Sarcastic of course. Lol
Wow. I knew the left were awful but to hope someone doesn’t live long? You’re a disgusting human.. typical trait of the left against people who have different opinions than them I suppose.
Given the alternatives there maybe a large number who think it's better to;
Bring Back Boris.
We need a solid centrist party who isn't labour or the conservatives.
As long as they spend money on the military, do not shy away from patriotism, seek the correct CANZUK relationship as our basis for international relations, and does not acquiesce to foreign countries and governments the way previous centrist parties have done.
I think the same , he is the best Prime Minister after Churchill, he made England more democratic, you will regret this decission‼️
