Alistair Campbell attacked those responsible for putting Boris Johnson in 10th place when he appeared on BBC Question Time last night.

As a former doctor when Tony Blair was prime minister, Campbell has been a particularly harsh critic of Johnson over the years.

But last night, hours after Johnson formally announced his resignation, Campbell really cut loose.

he said: “Anyone who has worked with him knows he is a liar.

“Everyone who sat around the cabinet table and supported him knew he was a liar.

“All the right-wing commentators who patted us on the back and told us he was going to be a great guy, they all knew he was a liar.”

“He must be from Downing Street,” Campbell said, referring to Johnson’s announcement that he intended to remain in Downing Street until a replacement is confirmed (which is likely to happen in the autumn).

The former No. 10 Correspondent also endorsed former Conservative Prime Minister John Major, who was ousted by Blair in the 1997 general election.

The major said yesterday that Johnson’s new cabinet will not be able to “hold” the outgoing prime minister until his replacement is chosen, suggesting the outcome could be dangerous.

Campbell agreed with Johnson’s view, saying, “He’s corrupt, he’s entitled, he’s a liar, he hasn’t said anything. The sooner you’re gone, the better.”

Campbell didn’t stop there either.

On Thursday, when confronted by The Telegraph’s Timothy Stanley, who was also on the Question Time panel, he stated:

“They broadcast it, they supplied it, Johnson described Telegram as their real boss and they’re part of the problem.”

The outgoing prime minister was a journalist for a right-wing newspaper before entering politics.

Campbell continued: “What needs to happen next is our political culture, we need to change our media culture or it will happen again.”

During the same episode of Question Time, Campbell also went after his old party, Labor.

He said he was expelled as a member after voting for the Liberal Democrats in the 2019 European Parliament elections in protest against Labour’s stance on Brexit, but still supported the party.

However, he insisted: [right now].

“I’m still 100% hardworking, but they can do better.”

He said even before the Chris Pincher scandal that led to the departure of a Tory MP from Johnson, “people hate this government” and “they are fed up with what this government is doing to the country”, he claimed.

“But they haven’t looked down the road yet and see it as an alternative,” he concluded.[Labour need to] He understands that it is really difficult to gain power in this country against entrenched conservative interests.

“I want them to do better, I want them to do better. If these Tories come back for another term, I sincerely fear for the future of this country.”

Labor leader Keir Starmer came under fire again this week over Brexit after confirming his party has no intention of returning the UK to the EU despite the pro-paddy campaign.
