BBC Cancels Boris Johnson Interview Due to Error

News summary

A highly anticipated BBC interview with former Prime Minister Boris Johnson has been canceled after presenter Laura Kuenssberg accidentally sent him briefing notes intended for her team. The interview, set to air during prime time as Johnson's first major sit-down since leaving office, was deemed 'untenable' following the error, which Kuenssberg described as 'embarrassing and disappointing'. Topics for discussion were to include Brexit, the COVID-19 pandemic, and the Partygate scandal. Kuenssberg expressed her frustration over the cancellation but stressed the importance of honesty in journalism. Despite calls for the BBC to find a replacement interviewer, the cancellation was a joint decision by both the BBC and Johnson's team. Johnson's memoir, titled 'Unleashed', is scheduled for release on October 10, 2024.
