Obituaries
By Boris Johnson MP

In his recent memoir he rails against everything from the introduction of TV cameras to the Commons chamber – he’d already been an MP for almost seven years when that happened – to Tony Blair’s abolition of routine all-night sittings, which he felt helped MPs get to know each other a little better.

When Ben Houchen won the Tees Valley metro mayoralty for the Conservatives in 2017, it was the shock of the night. Four years later, he is the darling of the Tory party. He speaks to Georgina Bailey about levelling up, his future plans and whether he’s friends with the PM.

There needs to be a ruthless focus on delivery. The Prime Minister’s success in the red wall was built on his bonhomie and good intentions, but he will suffer if voters fail to feel improvements by the time they next go to the polls.
