About the Book
‘A riveting read that skips along at pace. Illuminating and concerning, it lifts the lid on the tawdry world of Westminster powerbroking’ Tim Shipman, The Times
The explosive behind-the-scenes account of the plot to bring down Boris Johnson
YOU THINK YOU LIVE IN A WORLD WHERE
THE ELECTED ARE CHOSEN BY THE PEOPLE.
THINK AGAIN.
When Boris Johnson came to power in 2019, he united a party with the largest Conservative majority since Margaret Thatcher. And yet, just three years later, he was ousted by the same members who had once greeted his leadership so rapturously.
What had gone so wrong?
The Plot is the seismic, fly-on-the-wall account of how a Prime Minister was driven from office, revealing a devastating fault line within government stretching back decades. Told with unparalleled access, from multiple inside sources, it unearths the shocking truth about powerful and unaccountable forces operating behind the scenes in the heart of Westminster, whose deception and political dark arts threaten to topple the very fabric of our democracy.
