Description
Book SynopsisCameron. May. Johnson. Truss. Sunak. Five prime ministers, one explosive memoir from the heart of Westminster. Kingmaker lifts the lid on some of the leadership battles that have defined British politics for a decade and a half.
The last fourteen years have seen turbulence at the centre of politics that is perhaps unique in British history. From coalition to Brexit, Covid to Partygate, Trussonomics to this year's election, our government has never felt so fractured. And as Prime Ministers have come and gone, one man has been at the heart of every leadership challenge, seeing all, but saying nothing. Until now.
Sir Graham Brady has been the Chairman of the 1922 Committee since 2010. As the leader of the group with the power to choose a new leader of the Conservative Party, it is his hand that held the executioner's axe over five consecutive Conservative Prime Ministers' heads.
Elected to parliament in 1997 as the youngest Conservative MP
