Inside Boris' final moments as Prime Minister: Rachel Johnson exclusively tells LBC about what happened behind No10's door before his last speech
The departing Prime Minister said "this is it, folks" as he took to the lectern for the final time in his tenure since becoming leader in 2019.
She told Nick Ferrari at Breakfast: "I was inside No10 on the last day of Boris Johnson’s premiership… I am reporting for you. "What was interesting about it was this – in the last 15 minutes of his time in No10 you would think he would be off in a side room, reading over his notes, just kind of having a moment, just preparing himself because you saw the press pen opposite, it was absolutely packed. The street was packed.
"And they were going to go straight onto the plane as you know, the kids were somewhere else, and that was it." "I think he knew that Partygate would be this thing that would build up and build up and I think it's a terrible missed opportunity."
