What to expect
‘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
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 did so with the largest Conservative majority since Margaret Thatcher. Rewriting the political map, he united a party and shattered Labour’s fabled red wall. 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 the saviour of the Conservative Party became a pariah. Told with unparalleled access, from multiple inside sources talking with astonishing candour, it reveals the shocking truth about powerful forces operating behind the scenes in the heart of Westminster and those who became the architects of a Prime Minister’s downfall.
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.

People who disparagingly call this “a work of fiction“ are either unaware, or they have something to cover up. I say this, because the content is not from Nadine Dorries, so it really doesn’t matter whether you agree with her political persuasion or not. She has assembled a load of interviews with different people, from Conservative veterans, to a previously ousted Prime Minister, to people working for the government and to the MPs themselves. These testimonies confirm one another in many ways over all the issues she covers.
And what she has uncovered is the most disgusting, manipulative, and degenerate behaviour in parliament, a swamp that urgently needs draining before it breaks our whole country and something far worse than democracy comes in to replace it. Everybody needs to read this book!AnnFB 2023-12-24
