"'The Fall of Boris Johnson' is the fascinating inside account of how the Prime Minister lost his grip on power. Boris Johnson was touted as the saviour of the country and the Conservative party, obtaining a huge Commons majority and finally getting Brexit done. But within three short years, he was deposed in disgrace, leaving the country in crisis. Sebastian Payne, Whitehall Editor for the Financial Times, tells the essential behind-the-scenes story, charting the series of scandals that felled Johnson: from the blocked suspension of Owen Paterson to Partygate, and, then the final blow -- the Chris Pincher allegations. This is the full narrative of the betrayals, rivalries and resignations that resultued in the dramatic Conservative coup and set motion events that saw the party sink to catastrophic new lows. With unparalleled access to those who were in the room when key decisions were made, Payne tells of the miscalculations and mistakes that led to Boris's downfall. This is a gripping and timely look at how power is gained, wielded and lost in Britain today."--Jacket.
