The Last Temptation of Boris Johnson

The Last Temptation of Boris JohnsonT0705706800
It was the dinner that changed history: the night in February 2016 when Boris Johnson decided to vote ?leave'. Guests included fellow MP Michael Gove, media mogul Evgeny Lebedev and, for Boris at least, the spirits of prime ministers past - Margaret Thatcher, Winston Churchill and Tony Blair. Fast forward to post-Brexit Britain, 2029: a country divided. Boris is back in the political wilderness and has ambitions to make Britain great again, but what are his true intentions? Navigating a career in politics and the media, Boris remains as divisive as ever and in an unexpected turn of events, soon finds himself mired - yet again - in controversy.
Author Jonathan Maitland
