Alexander Boris de Pfeffel Johnson. A bit of a mouthful. To most people - and there are those that hate it - he’s simply Boris.

This series tells the story of Boris Johnson - from boy to man to prime minister. In each episode, Adam Fleming talks to a range of people who’ve known, watched, worked or dealt with him.

In the eighth episode, we look at the events leading up to the PM's resignation.

Katy Balls, deputy political editor of The Spectator.

Dr Hannah White, Deputy Director at the Institute for Government and author of Held in Contempt: What’s Wrong with the House of Commons?
