Description
Boris Johnson: The Rise and Fall of a Troublemaker at Number 10 by Andrew Gimson is an in-depth account of Boris Johnson's time as prime minister, from his landslide election victory to his tumultuous resignation. Gimson sheds light on the factors that contributed to Johnson's rise, including his ability to shock and enrage the Establishment, and how he benefited from being seen as a clown by his opponents. He also explores the role of sex, greed, boredom, and low seriousness in Johnson's ascent and fall. Through a series of vivid vignettes, Gimson provides a nuanced understanding of Johnson's personality and the events that led to his downfall, including the impact of Partygate on his prime ministership.
