COMMENT: Lee Jasper - Surviving Boris Johnson Former London Mayor advisor reflects on the vicious attacks, how he was exonerated, and the irony of the Prime Minister being undone by lies
Andrew went on, , to become the first Mayoral adviser to Boris and then an adviser to the PM. Rich reward indeed for helping Boris secure his slenderest of victories, just 60,000 votes 2008 election victory over Ken Livingstone.
Windrush, deportations, police racism and misogynoir, Covid-19 death rates, and massive rises in Black adult and youth unemployment, not to mention the polarizing and devesting effects of Brexit and the cost-of-living crisis. Boris has a passion for Homer and the Greek classics, which is deeply ironic given how things have played out during his incredibly short tenure as PM and have literally turned into a Greek tragedy for him and the nation.
I must ashamedly admit to watching his demise with a soupçon of schadenfreude. But what I’m most grateful for in a perverse sort of way is the whole experience of Boris’s sustained and brutal attacks, though personally galling, and taxing all around, ultimately made me and my family more robust, not weaker, made me wiser and more resilient.
