On today's Daily T, we bring you an exclusive interview with former Prime Minister Boris Johnson.

Boris joined us in the studio on the 100th anniversary of the birth of Margaret Thatcher, and he makes the case for why he was right to follow the science over Covid lockdowns, why Kemi Badenoch is the best person to lead the Conservatives and how the current Prime Minister has "made no difference" over the war in Gaza - comparing his recogntition of a Palestinian state to a "fart in a gale".

Camilla and Tim also grill him over the record levels of immigration during his premiership, ask whether the China spy story could bring down "hyprocrite" Starmer and he explains why he's worried by Reform leader Nigel Farage's previous warm words about Vladimir Putin.
