Quizzee Rascal

As the leaks about illicit parties and quizzes pile up, and the Tory right wing fly into a rage about COVID passports, is Boris Johnson finally running out of road? And is the Torysphere getting bored with their boy? Plus we talk to Jolyon Maugham of the Good Law Project about the many deep-running scandals behind the day-to-day headlines. And what’s worse, the pressure to be happy all the time – or performative negativity from professional cynics?

• “The Government wants to do with the judiciary what it’s done with the BBC. It wants to keep them frit – and remind them of where they are in the hierarchy.” – Jolyon Maugham

• “You can never tell if Johnson’s close to physical collapse or if he’s just spent ten minutes backstage mussing up the outfit.” – Justin Quirk

• “Social media is a negative space. You don't exist on there until you say something.” - Alex Andreou

• “The Met’s refusal to investigate has nothing to do with evidence, and everything to do with avoiding an embarrassing confrontation with Number 10.” – Jolyon Maugham
