Episode description
Peter Oborne is a conservative commentator who used to work for Boris Johnson - but his new book, The Assault on Truth, is a searing and compelling indictment of a Prime Minister who has turned lies and deceit into an art form. We talk about how Johnson has got away with it, about the alt right leanings of the government, the sinister roles of Michael Gove and Dominic Cummings - and Peter Oborne's damning verdict about the role of the British press and the BBC
