  1. Matt Chorley and Boris Johnson have a lot to discuss

    Thanks for joining us as the BBC speaks to former Prime Minister Boris Johnson.

    BBC 5 Live's Matt Chorley will interview Johnson from 15:00 BST - and you can watch it all on this page.

    They'll have a lot to discuss: Johnson led the country during the Covid crisis, and his government's handling of the pandemic has been the subject of scrutiny by a public inquiry.

    The deposed former prime minister - who was succeeded by Liz Truss and later Rishi Sunak - also negotiated the UK's exit from the EU in 2020, having played a key part in the 2016 Brexit campaign.

    Johnson is also expected to discuss his memoir "Unleashed", which recounts his time in office.

    There won't be regular text updates on the page - but you can follow along by clicking the watch live link at the top of the page, or below.
