About this deal

There is a small group of men, most of them unelected…operating at the heart of the Conservative party…for 25 years or more they have set out to control the destiny of the Conservative Party.

Her first novel, THE FOUR STREETS, was inspired by memories of her childhood, particularly her Irish grandmother who she was very close to. The real revelation, in a book that promised many, is that it is apparently possible to work in politics for a quarter of a century and still have no idea how politics actually works. I will give the last word to an expert on conspiracies who has hailed Nads on Twitter/X by saying she has confirmed “what I have been writing for 30 years and this is only part of it”.God, these people are so clever: virtually no one has heard of them and yet absolutely everyone is scared witless by them.

Look hard behind the conglomerated corporate ownership of our media companies and there are the puppet-masters, pulling on cables in their malevolent manipulation. This book is so shocking it depressed me in the end due to the total corruption of our democracy and I think that urgent investigations by police, Parliament and the Conservative party should start immediately, in fact I am shocked that this proposal hasn't already been started. As I wrote earlier, the main body of this book is a number of allegations made in interview by people who prefer not to be named against a number of political players (one of them being the current Prime Minister) which tends to tread the same ground over and over until the listener can pretty much predict the next line coming. This book highlights the obsessive pursuit of power by a small group of people within the Conservative Party and the telling of the story is damming! Beginning with the controversial prorogation of Parliament in August and the historic landslide election victory later that year, Johnson was barely through the door of No.Behind Dr No, or possibly next to him, is the elected Michael Gove “who binds all the dark arts people together”. The Plot: The Political Assassination of Boris Johnson" by Nadine Dorries presents a polarising yet enthralling narrative about one of the UK's most controversial political figures, Boris Johnson. They’re interspersed with long, dramatic conversations between Dorries and various unnamed sources who all seemingly share her thesis, several of whom have a habit of speaking like characters in a bad spy novel. Reading on, one has the impression that the entire organisation within No 10 has careened out of control. Today we publish some of the world's foremost authors, from Nobel prize-winners to worldwide bestsellers recent successes including the Booker-winning Wolf Hall and Bring Up The Bodies by Hilary Mantel, and George RR Martin's blockbusting A Song of Ice and Fire series.

He got bounced into policy decisions he didn’t agree with, he was fooled into appointing enemies or incompetents into every role around him, he even got fooled into fronting a Leave campaign by people who actually never wanted to win the referendum! My history of failing to see what should have been obvious begins with the removal of Iain Duncan Smith as Tory leader in 2003. Yep that’s right, ‘The Plot’ is far from Dorries’s first attempt at fiction, with the former culture secretary already having 16 novels to her name. If there was a single figure who bought about the end of Boris Johnson, who’s actions and inactions led to one of the most spectacular losses of electoral success, it’s the man on the front cover of this book, Boris Johnson himself. Former Tory party chair Oliver Dowden did not deny that his party may have secretly funded medical treatment for a woman who told officials she had been raped by a Tory MP.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”). There may be cause for some jealousy, however, with Iain Duncan Smith (or IDS, “as he’s known to almost everyone”) coming out as the unexpected heartthrob of this epic tale. She served as a minister of state in the department of health throughout the pandemic finishing as Secretary of State at the department of digital culture media and sport. The deal announcement comes seven months after initial reports about the book in the Evening Standardin which Dorries described it as a "a political whodunit". You long for a proper explanation of how Johnson managed to hire so many people who hated him, or even why they hated him so much if he really was the man Dorries describes.

Reasons that this is terrible include: (1) it's highly repetitive; (2) it's sometimes really dull and tedious; (3) Dorries makes no effort to draw conclusions or make connections. Whilst the book itself is long winded and somewhat boring it does pose a question not contained within its pages. Here, if I may venture a criticism of the author, she’s a bit of a letdown, pleading that “the legals” prevent her from full disclosure. I can't say I enjoyed reading this book because the democracy that I thought I lived in, no longer exists.I thought Liz Truss only lasted at Number 10 for 49 days because of the lunacy of her infamous “mini-budget”, which crashed sterling, blew up the gilts market and unleashed so much mayhem that she was forced to sack her chancellor shortly before she met her own end. Bringing down a popular, although flawed, prime minister has led us directly to the parlous state in which the country finds itself today.
