Review

Jack Seale

An unusual edition of the factual show where experts on psychology, speech and body language analyse archive footage to identify the signs of lying. Normally they’re talking about a notorious criminal, but on this occasion it’s a former Prime Minister.

Speeches and interviews from the peak of Boris Johnson’s career, including during Covid when his responsibility was greatest, are examined for telltale tics and warning signs.
