I heard about this a few days back and this was broadcast last night (assuming it's live, as well).
It is pretty cringeworthy, and what he talks about is about 50% true. As anyone knows, most laws and acts are passed without the Public really knowing.
Liking him admitting that we shamelessly flaunted the Olympics lol. Over here,
the Media picked up on his Magna Carta fuckup - despite the answer being said at the start of the piece. Really interesting questions, especially about why we still have the GBP and the like

I don't think it's unusual to forget historical dates. They're not particularly relevant.
Get ready, from now every politician is going to be quizzed on British History at the start of every interview.
If he was a simpsons fan he would have been covered:
In 1215 at Runnymede, do da, do, da.
The nobles and the king agreed, oh da doo da day.
