Or even the way Dorries, a woman far sharper than critics suggest, casts herself for narrative purposes as a political ingenue, roaming Westminster asking impossibly wide-eyed questions as she tries to establish who killed Boris Johnson’s career. Worse still, by repeatedly adding two and two but getting 666, Dorries risks reinforcing every paranoid fantasy about shadowy elites secretly running everything that has ever existed, alongside the nihilistic message that your vote doesn’t matter because the game’s always rigged. Throughout the book, former colleagues of Dorries emerge in a less than flattering light, said The Independent. While some conclusions are drawn, the reader is left to fill in the blanks as to the motivations and objectives of the people involved. This is the story of a damning trail of treachery and deceit fuelled by an obsessive pursuit of power, which threatens to topple the very fabric of our democracy.

You’ll remember that Boris Johnson, on becoming prime minister, took a keen interest in who should run both the BBC and Ofcom, the supposedly independent regulator which oversees it.

Then there’s “The Dark Lord” – we are now on Harry Potter films – whom you will better know as Dominic Cummings. HarperNonFiction publisher Adam Humphrey negotiated the deal for world all-language rights with Piers Blofeld at Sheil Land Associates. Gove is also said to have been central to ousting Boris Johnson last year because the Movement regretted putting him in No.With a heritage stretching back nearly 200 years, HarperCollins is one of the world's foremost English-language publishers, offering the best quality content right across the spectrum, from cutting-edge contemporary fiction to digital hymnbooks and pretty much everything in between.

The pity is that Nadine does have a point, buried beneath the deathless prose (“the weak and silvery lilac sun that had filled the room slipped behind a cloud”). She is a Sunday Times best selling novelist having sold almost 3m copies of her novels set in Liverpool and Ireland. The problems with Nadine Dorries’s very long and very strange book on the fall of Boris Johnson begin on the title page. Read more about the condition New: A new, unread, unused book in perfect condition with no missing or damaged pages. In fact ND was on Boris's honours list and she waited some time before eventually resigning weeks later when obviously she found out RS was not going to allow her to get her honour whatever it was that Boris proposed.Instead a major publisher has seen fit to release a book, so we must say clearly that this is nonsense, and everyone involved should be ashamed. Yet intermittently, there’s a glimpse of what could have been: an inside story, told by someone who never lost the feeling of being an outsider.

From the agonising upheaval of Brexit and the devastating Covid-19 pandemic to the nerve-shredding crisis in Afghanistan, the outbreak of war in Ukraine and the Partygate scandal, Johnson's government ultimately unravelled after just three years. Nadine Dorries' latest book The Plot claims that British politics is controlled, not by the voters, but by a shady faction, who have been at the heart of the Conservative Party for more than 20 years, pulling strings, pushing agendas and toppling leaders. Now we must address the most sensational conspiracy of the lot, the one that brought down Nads’s splendid friend, Boris Johnson, and just when that hero was in his prime. The interviews with Johnson himself that punctuate the book are genuinely intriguing, and not just for Dorries’s ability to somehow capture him sounding more thoughtful and statesmanlike than any previous interviewer.

Of course the characters in the TV show were more intelligent than the players in this book, but hilarious just the same.
