Le storytelling de Boris Johnson à l’épreuve de la crise sanitaire by Alma-Pierre Bonnet

“…Johnson’s storytelling, which created the image of a charismatic, irreverent leader, close to the people and in opposition to patriarchal authority, was particularly well suited to the Brexit crisis, when the United Kingdom supposedly wanted to extricate itself from European authoritarianism and elitism.
