Boris Johnson's Memoir 'Unleashed' Sparks Debate Over Legacy

The former UK Prime Minister's book defends his record while facing criticism for deflecting blame.

  • Boris Johnson's memoir, 'Unleashed,' presents his perspective on his political career and post-Brexit Britain.
  • Johnson criticizes former Chancellor Rishi Sunak for lacking a post-Brexit growth strategy, likening Sunak to Brutus in a betrayal narrative.
  • The memoir revisits Johnson's achievements, such as the vaccine rollout and support for Ukraine, while downplaying controversies like 'Partygate.'
  • Critics argue the book is self-exculpatory, with Johnson blaming others for his political downfall and failing to acknowledge the consequences of Brexit.
  • The memoir has been described as a mix of personal anecdotes and political reflections, with some viewing it as an attempt to rehabilitate Johnson's image.
