Boris Johnson: Churchill, Charles II or Coco the Clown?
Who is our most unexpected prime minister? Is Boris Johnson Churchill reborn, as he seems to believe? Is he another Charles II, caught between the irreconcilable factions of Remainers and Brexiteers, and destined to betray both?

In this lecture, David Starkey blends his knowledge of history and current politics into a sparkling (and very strong) cocktail.
