The Last Word with Matt Cooper

Who Is The Real Boris Johnson?

Boris Johnson has been announced as the next British Prime Minister after winning the Tory leadership contest. He beat second-placed Jeremy Hunt, with 92,153 Conservative Party members voting for him. But who exactly is the real Boris Johnson? The public likes to see him as an entertainer and a buffoon, but does he have what it takes to do a serious job as Prime Minister? Nick Ferrari, presenter of Nick Ferrari at Breakfast on LBC, joined us to give his take on Johnson as someone who knows him well. 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.
