Race to become UK PM: Boris Johnson exclusive interview - BBC News

After facing days of criticism for avoiding media scrutiny - Boris Johnson, who's running against Jeremy Hunt to be the next Prime Minister and Tory leader - has spoken exclusively to the BBC.
He says he would ensure a plan to deliver Brexit by the end of October - declaring the political landscape both in the UK and the EU has changed.
But, Mr Johnson admitted he would need EU cooperation to prevent both a hard border in Ireland, and tariffs on British business if there were no deal with the EU.
Asked about the widely reported incident in the early hours of Friday morning at the flat he shares with his partner - Boris Johnson said it was simply not fair to talk about his family and loved ones.
He's been interviewed by the BBC's political editor Laura Kuenssberg.
Tomorrow, we will have an interview with Jeremy Hunt, the other candidate in the Conservative Leadership Race.

Hi BBC. This is the internet. In here there is no time limit here that you need to abide by and therefore you do not need to edit down the interview to fit into said timeframe. The taxpayers have paid for this interview, please release it. Best regards, everyone

[@MrDamo34]

No, they edited it because most of the people who support Boris wouldn’t watch a video that was 20 minutes long, unless it involved a monkey scratching itself or a fatal car crash!

[@rexstout8177]

@@UkzEnglishBullTerrierz "he has no intention of this why would you even say that" Diana would say this, as that's what she wants. There are many such people like Diana (polling suggests at least 20%) and they need a place to vote... Boris wants to reassure people like Diana that he agrees with her, without openly saying it to everyone else (polling suggests 80%). This process is known as dog whistling. Calling minorities demeaning names is part and parcel of this process. Dog whistling is an integral part of running for the leader of any right wing party.

[@pauldryburgh6346]

@Rex Stout but if you can hear the dog whistle then doesn't that make you the dog?

[@MultiMattRogers]

But what if the interview isn't how you imagine it? This edit might be the most flattering version This edit might be wholly representative of an interview where he didn't really say much. Or This could be a hatchet job in which they edited out all of the incredibly insightful things that he said. But it's worth noting that team Boris haven't publicly complained about the way that he was represented in the interview. So it's unlikely that there's a whole lot more to hear.

"Can you think of anybody who stuck up for the bankers as much as I did?

BBC is sooooooo extremely biased towards Jeremy chunt

[@strontiumstargazer3124]

Benjamin Buck I don’t think the BBC is particularly pro hunt rather they are so anti Boris and pro remain. I’ve just listened to 1.5 hrs of radio 4 and almost every other item has been Boris bashing and Hunt has only been mention once and in the context that Amanda Rudd supports Hunt. I’m afraid we will have three weeks of this horrendous bias ahead.

Ben Jammin is correct,. and then ask yourself WHY !!! but beware .. the ANSWER will most probably TERRIFY you ..

[@robinmillward5455]

He has absolutely no plan what so ever and this is obvious from the start even watching this heavily edited interview, he is living in a dream world and still not telling the truth. When will a politician actually have the balls to stand up and say brexit is a terrible idea, it's not going to work and let's forget about it and move on. The UK really is a laughing stock and looks like we may have clown leading this circus, how embarrassing.

[@saucespicy5683]

please delight us with your wisdom how do you know if Brexit is a terrible idea when it has not happened yet you don't accept the democratic referendum

[@sicah8898]

Three years on from the infamous and totally misleading information give to the British public brexit vote that has already cost two prime mimisters their jobs and countless inept ministers have resigned and still nothing has changed and the irish backstop is not the only problem or the biggest. Boris Johnson is Donald trumps doppelganger god help UK as he seems to have no idea what to do

[@robinmillward5455]

@@saucespicy5683 For starters there is no one out there who can categorically say that Brexit is going to be good for the country and provide evidence to back this up. Economically Brexit will cripple this country and the experts have basically said this and can provide cold hard facts to prove it although it surely doesn't take an expert to work this out. Also the referendum wasn't written into law and that as a country we should stick to it, think of it as more of a guide, a guide that was based on misinformation and people just not telling the truth.

pretty suspicious how cut happy this editor is !!! Any sign of an uncut version being released ? I highly doubt it even though we paid for this interview !

Get your mummy to take off the child locks and then go to BBC News Channel to get the full interview!

@@peterbarton9856 Touche. Although it's fairly expected and standard practice to provide a link to full interview. And it wouldn't be unsurprising given their current coverage of Boris, clearly a complete smear campaign. Not that I'm a massive Boris fan.

We can expect full Boris-Derangement-Syndrome from the MSM for the duration of his tenure as PM if he wins.

My goodness. Is this Journalism?. I used to like Laura, however, this so-called heavily edited interview in favor of the BBC is beyond disappointing! If the BBC keep this behavior up, no potential prime minister will agree to be interviewed, and with good reason.
