In the newspapers: Boris Johnson should ‘sort it out or step aside’

Business leader, philanthropist, Phones 4U founder and previous Conservative Party donor John Caudwell’s comments on this week’s mounting ‘partygate’ crisis for Boris Johnson’s Downing Street have sparked widespread press interest.

Following an Instagram post which John concluded by saying “Sort it out, Boris, or step aside and let someone else sort it out so that the Tories aren’t wiped out at the next election”, John did a round of broadcast interviews and his comments were quoted on BBC News and a slew of national newspapers including the front pages of the Financial Times, The Telegraph and The i Paper, as well as The Times, The Sun, Daily Mail, Daily Mirror, Daily Express, The Spectator, The Independent, Metro, and various international and online titles.
