[close]Research note
Our team of researchers has taken a number of actions in order to ensure that this record is as comprehensive as possible. The lead researcher carried out an online search of Boris Johnson’s public record between 21st February 2016, the day he announced his pro-leave position on the EU referendum, and 22nd June 2016, the day before the vote. A further two researchers have checked the document by performing a second search in order to identify additional records.
The team used a range of search strategies including the use of key words and the customised date range function both within search engines and a number of individual websites associated with broadcast and print media organisations, social media and the London assembly. Johnson’s mayoral diary was also used to identify events at which he might have spoken during the period in question. Websites and platforms used in the search: London assembly record of proceedings; BBC online; ITV online; Sky online; The Guardian; The Telegraph; Facebook; Twitter.
Although the team have made every attempt to provide a full and accurate record, it is possible that some statements have not been included and that Boris Johnson spoke at some events for which online transcripts and reports do not exist.
Editorial note
Presentation of this report follows The Guardian house style. Notable exceptions are: interjections and interruptions in verbal transcriptions, which are presented as ‘- -’ ‘…’ or ‘-‘.
Where verbal record is included, it is transcribed ‘almost verbatim’: without ‘mms, ahhs, ohhs’ and with repetition of up to three words ‘but, but, but’. Where print material is included, any errors in capitalisation, spelling and punctuation reflect those of the original, not of the authors of this report. Where reported speech is included, it is presented either as a standalone quote or, where necessary, with qualifying text included in [brackets], paraphrased from the original, in order to provide context.
If we have missed anything that Johnson said during the Brexit campaign please let us know and we will add it to the dossier.
The Johnson Dossier
Here is every one of the 200,000+ words that Boris Johnson said or posted publicly between 21 February 2016, the day he announced his pro-leave position on the EU referendum, and 22 June 2016, the day before the vote.
As the Brexit project shifts from rhetoric to reality we share this transcript for anyone to use in the hope that the public, journalists and politicians can hold him to account for the damage he is doing to our country and continent.
