Bench plaque 'in loathing memory' of Boris Johnson causes a stir in Greater Manchester town

A warning from Liz Truss has come back to haunt her after footage showing her saying a tax cuts bonanza would lead to "boom and bust" was unearthed.

Naman Ramachandran The crisis of leadership Britain has been plunged into over recent years merits sustained study as a cautionary tale. But it demands deeper and sharper analysis than is available in “This England,” a curiously indifferent six-part miniseries notionally centred on former Conservative Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s handling of the initial coronavirus outbreak, currently limping out on Sky’s U.K. arm. When Winterbottom’s Revolution Films announced the project (originally titled “This Sceptred Isle”) last year – with Kenneth Branagh unveiled as the project’s Johnson – speculation was rife. Would the series be an ensemble satire, along the lines of Winterbottom’s rambunctious “24 Hour Party People”? Or an artfully sober inquiry, in the vein of the director’s Amanda Knox-inspired “The Face of an Angel”?

Sir Kenneth Branagh's Boris Johnson transformation took three hours "a day". The 61-year-old star looks uncannily like the former British Prime Minister in Sky's political drama 'This Sceptred Isle'. However, it took a lot of work to get him to resemble him, with Branagh having to don a suit to bulk him up and a number of prosthetics.
