The Crosby Show

This time it’s the Crosby Show…as we examine the influence of political strategist Sir Lynton Crosby, advisor to David Cameron, Theresa May and Boris Johnson.   Australian Crosby – sometimes known as the 'Wizard of Oz' - is credited with founding the “dead cat” strategy, which involves creating a diversion if your favoured candidate is coming under intense pressure.   It’s a tactic which has arguably defined Boris Johnson’s tenure in Downing Street...
