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 tells the essential behind-the-scenes story,charting the series of scandals that felled Johnson: from the blocked suspension of Owen Paterson,through partygate and the final death blow: the Chris Pincher allegations.
This is the full narrative of the betrayals,rivalries and resignations that resulted in the dramatic Conservative coup - and set in motion those 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 Johnson's downfall. This is a gripping and timely look at how power is gained,wielded and lost in Britain today.

MEDIA REVIEWS
'An entertaining and illuminating fly on the wall romp through Boris Johnson's final nine months,where the fly,Seb Payne,must frequently have thought he was on hallucinogens. It's more fun than a Downing Street party and contains a suitcase full of news.'- Tim Shipman
