Episode description

The British Prime Minister, his wife, and the UK’s second most powerful politician were fined by London's metropolitan police for attending illegal parties in government buildings, breaking their own Covid-19 lockdown rules. This means Boris Johnson is the first sitting British prime minister to be fined for breaking the law. So, what happens to his leadership now? Here to discuss is Johnson’s biographer Sonia Purnell. 

Also on today's show: Former NATO Deputy Supreme Allied Commander Europe Sir Richard Shirreff, French journalist Christine Ockrent, French Journalist Yascha Mounk, author Daniel Yergin, and Ukrainian First Lady Olena Zelenska.
