That led to him resigning
Which led to Boris Johnson hosting a few episodes
A charismatic buffoon, that catapulted him to wider attention
He was then selected for London mayor
During the 2012 Olympics he was pushed further into the world’s eye

That eventually led to him becoming PM, after a lucky backstabbing by Gove in 2017, meaning he managed to get a large majority in 2019
It’s an interesting example of the butterfly effect.
The tactics that won brexit with vote leave were used later to elect trump.
