    BONUS EPISODE: The Party's Over, For Now...
    Jun 15 2023
    In this bonus episode, Paul and Nathan react to Boris Johnson's bombshell departure from the House of Commons before an explosive report from the Privileges Committee ruled he deliberately misled MPs throughout the partygate scandal.

    They examine the former prime minister's claims of a "witchhunt" against him and return to their sources to debunk his allegations his downfall has been orchestrated by anti-Brexit plotters.

    So why did the cross-party MPs decide against Mr Johnson? Does his departure offer any closure for those who suffered most during the pandemic? And is this the final chapter in the partygate scandal and in Johnson's political career?

    This bonus episode of Partygate: The Inside Story was written by Paul Brand, Nathan Lee and David Williams. It was produced, edited and directed by David Williams. The executive producer was Matt Williams.

They’ll explain how a drinking culture defied the very emergency laws civil servants were making, what then-PM Boris Johnson witnessed first hand, and reveal the moment that triggered our whistleblower to release the devastating evidence that would blow the scandal wide open. UK Editor Paul Brand and his producer Nathan Lee then recall the many challenges of getting that evidence to air on ITV News.

It was written by Paul Brand and David Williams with additional production by Nathan Lee and archiving by Lewis Denison, Elisa Menendez and Will Tullis.

The downfall of the compulsive lying narcissist Boris Johnson

Loved this podcast.
If you are in any doubt as to what a lying narcissist Johnson is you need to listen to this podcast!
It’s really mind blowing how a Prime Minister lied to the public for so long over partygate.
Brilliant reporting by the ITV team and thank God for the whistle blowers - otherwise Johnson might have got away with it!
