Who Is The Real Boris Johnson?

Boris Johnson has been announced as the next British Prime Minister after winning the Tory leadership contest.

We also heard a montage of some of Johnson's comments over the years on a range of issues. Listen to the interview in full by pressing the play button on this page.
