Boris Johnson’s former girlfriend Petronella Wyatt has spoken about why she has sympathy for the Prime Minister but predicted his premiership would turn sour.
The journalist, with whom Johnson cheated on his former wife Marina Wheeler while he was editor of The Spectator, appeared on ITV's Good Morning Britain and said Johnson is now in a “mess of his own making”.
She told the programme: “He’s very much a people pleaser, which leads to all sorts of problems in government, because he makes promises he can’t keep, he makes enemies of MPs. While you can do that in your personal life, it catches up with you in politics.”
