Ex-Johnson aide: Possible to achieve great things and still be 'a bit of a nob'

Samuel Kasumu did not make it on to the Conservative shortlist to be the party’s candidate to take on Sadiq Khan in next year’s London mayoral race

Samuel Kasumu: "Boris Johnson’s legacy is, of course, the vaccine deployment, but it’s also some of the nonsense that happened when I was there."

It is “completely possible to achieve great things and still be a bit of a nob”, a former adviser to Boris Johnson has said.

Samuel Kasumu, who did not make it on to the Conservative shortlist to be the party’s candidate to take on Sadiq Khan in next year’s London mayoral race, also warned that the “scrapping of mandatory targets for house-building is borderline unforgivable”.
