Ungovernable : the political diaries of a chief whip
Hart, Simon2025
Book
Over the course of five years, Simon Hart had a front-row seat to the most turbulent times in recent British political history. From negotiations around Brexit to the impact of Liz Truss's extraordinary forty-nine-day premiership and the Russian invasion of Ukraine, he's seen and heard it all. And starting in 2022, under Prime Minister Rishi Sunak, he witnessed successive dramas unfold, all while holding down the (often misunderstood) position of chief whip. Astonishingly, during those whip years, Simon oversaw a record fifteen Conservative MPs fall by the wayside. In a first-of-its-kind extraordinary look at life as a chief whip, 'Ungovernable' is a revealing, real-time, blow-by-blow account - offering a glimpse of what truly goes on in Westminster behind closed doors.
