Beginning of the end? Booed Boris Johnson faces leadership challenge

THE DEBATE © FRANCE 24

From Friday's boos at St. Paul's Cathedral for his entrance to the Queen's jubilee thanksgiving service, to a Monday morning leadership challenge at Westminster, the Conservative revolt against the prime minister has suddenly gone into overdrive. With two big by-elections coming up, why set the wheels in motion now?

Is Partygate coming home to roost, or are the ruling Conservatives changing course? As post-Brexit turbulence blurs into the worst inflation in decades, what kind of leadership do the Tory faithful want? What kind of Britain do they want?

The United Kingdom is coming out of four days of a jubilee that was not so much a celebration but a public show of recognition to mark the twilight of a monarch's 70-year reign. But what lies ahead?

Produced by Alessandro Xenos, Elise Marné and Guillaume Gougeon
