Boris Johnson sang Glora Gaynor’s classic disco anthem “I will survive,” in a bid to reassure his new director of communications that he wasn’t going to be forced out office.
Guto Harri, who started work Monday after a string of resignations from Johnson’s office last week, also described his new boss as “not a complete clown,” in an interview with Welsh language website golwg360, according to a BBC translation.
Johnson’s premiership is at a tipping point after 5 key aides quit last week and as Conservative members of Parliament mull whether to demand a vote of confidence in his leadership.
