Boris Johnson ‘has managed to alienate both wings of Tory party’ – Rachel Sylvester, The Times

We asked again for a Conservative minister to appear on the programme, but none were made available.

Earlier we spoke Rachel Sylvester, political columnist for The Times, and Geraldine Scott who is Westminster correspondent at The Yorkshire Post.

We began by asking Geraldine how she thought Boris Johnson’s speech had been viewed by so called “Red Wall” voters, who backed Tory MPs in former Labour heartlands at the last election.
