'Sensational ... One of the most explosive political diaries ever
to be published ... As candid, caustic and colourful as the
sensational Alan Clark Diaries of the 1990s' DAILY MAIL The Sunday
Times bestseller As Minister of State at the Foreign Office, Alan
Duncan was once described as Boris Johnson's 'pooper-scooper'. For
two years, he deputised for the then Foreign Secretary, now Prime
Minister. Few are more attuned to Boris's strengths and weaknesses
as a minister and his suitability for high office than the man who
helped clear up his mistakes. Riotously candid, these diaries cover
the most turbulent period in recent British political history -
from the eve of the referendum in 2016 to the UK's eventual exit
from the EU. As two prime ministers fall, two general elections
unfold and a no-confidence vote is survived, Duncan records a
treasure-trove of insider gossip, giving biting and often hilarious
accounts of petty rivalries, poor decision-making, big egos, and
big crises. Nothing escapes Alan's acerbic gaze. Across these
unfiltered daily entries, he builds a revealing and often profound
picture of UK politics and personalities. A rich seam of high
politics and low intrigue, this is an account from deep inside the
engine room of power.
