Friday Night with Byline Times #45: Beleaguered Boris Johnson

PLUS: A look back at Laura Kuenssberg’s tenure as BBC political editor, updates on Ukraine, including shocking revelations that Russia is trafficking civilians from Ukraine to work for free in Russia, and the uncertain future of the monarchy following Prince William and Kate Middleton’s disastrous Caribbean tour.

With special guests: former BBC journalist Patrick Howse, UCL Lecturer in Education Conflict and International Development Alexandra Lewis and Byline contributor Otto English
