Boris Johnson wanted to send Rishi Sunak a foul-mouthed video calling him a “c***” after he resigned as chancellor 🔴 The claims have been set out by Guto Harri, who was director of communications in the final months of Johnson’s Downing Street
The claims have been set out by Mr Harri, who was director of communications in the final months ofAccording to the former spin doctor, Mr Sunak “walked out” without telling the then prime minister he was intending to go.Mr Harri added: “A few days later, Boris found a little video on the internet that expressed what he wanted to say to Rishi.The mock music video concludes with the message: “You’re a c***.
Mr Harri added: “So, there you have it. If you really want to know how Boris Johnson felt about Rishi Sunak in the immediate aftermath of his toppling and the great betrayal of all time as he sees it, there you have it.” Mr Sunak’s decision to resign came as the pair increasingly fell out over differences on economic policy, with Mr Johnson becoming frustrated over what he viewed as his chancellor acting “like a bank manager”.
“There was a moment where Boris blew up,” Mr Harri said. “Sadly, Rishi was not in the room. He needed to know but Boris just basically went: ‘F*** this s***, man, f*** this s***. We need to clear out the Treasury. The Treasury is acting like a bank manager, not an engine of growth. We need Singapore-on-Thames. We need dynamism’.”
“And so, this tension was building and that was far more significant in the end, behind the scenes, than any row over partygate or the trivial nonsense of everyday politics,” Mr Harri said, adding: “This was a fundamental disagreement of policy that explains the fault lines that are still at the heart of the Conservative Party.”
