Headline: UNCAPTIONED: BBC pulls Boris Johnson interview after Laura Kuenssberg's blunder

Caption: BBC pulls Boris Johnson interview after Laura Kuenssberg’s blunder. The BBC has cancelled an interview with Boris Johnson after a blunder by Laura Kuenssberg, the host of its Sunday politics show. Kuenssberg accidentally sent her briefing notes intended for her team to Johnson instead. Apologizing publicly on X, Kuenssberg admitted the mistake, calling it “embarrassing and disappointing”. She added that, under the circumstances, it wouldn't be right for the interview to proceed. The 30-minute programme had been widely promoted and was set to feature Johnson ahead of the release of his new book, Unleashed. Both the BBC and Johnson's team agreed that canceling the interview was the best course of action. Instructions: THIS VIDEO MUST NOT BE EDITED FOR LENGTH TO COMBINE WITH OTHER CONTENT
