Boris Johnson: The Rise and Fall of a Troublemaker at Number 10 by Andrew Gimson
Requirements: .ePUB reader, 2.7 MB
Overview: Andrew Gimson, whose previous book Boris is the essential read on Johnson’s earlier career, returns with a penetrating and entertaining new account of Boris Johnson’s turbulent time as prime minister, from the highs of a landslide election victory to the lows of his car-crash resignation.
In Boris Johnson: The Rise and Fall of a Troublemaker at Number 10, Gimson sets out to discover how a man dismissed as a liar, charlatan and tasteless joke was able, despite being written off more frequently than any other British politician of the twenty-first century, to become prime minister. During his ascent, Johnson benefited from being regarded as a clown, for this meant his opponents failed to take him seriously, while his supporters delighted in his ability to shock and enrage the Establishment. He even changed the language of politics; a new word, ‘cakeism’, entered the English lexicon to describe his implausible but seductive claim during the Brexit negotiations that it was possible to have one’s cake and eat it.
