Boris Johnson's Controversial Tenure as Prime Minister

Boris Johnson has publicly acknowledged his unsuitability for the role of Prime Minister, particularly highlighting a 'catastrophic' mistake in apologizing for the partygate scandal, which contributed to his downfall. He expressed regret over his handling of the situation, claiming that his attempts to appease the public only fueled anger against him. Despite briefly rallying support during the Ukraine crisis, his controversial handling of the Chris Pincher allegations ultimately led to a loss of confidence among Conservative MPs. Lord Graham Brady, a former Tory powerbroker, noted that while partygate initially simmered down, it was Johnson's later errors that sealed his fate. Johnson's recent reflections suggest that he believes he could have navigated the partygate situation better had he taken a firmer stance from the beginning. His impending memoir is expected to provide further insight into the events leading to his resignation.
