Boris Johnson has always been larger than life. Controversial,
untrammelled by the normal rules of politics, his route to becoming
Britain’s prime minister included a landmark career as a journalist,
two terms as London’s mayor, leading the Vote Leave Brexit campaign and
acting as foreign secretary. He won the largest Tory majority since
1987 when he went to the polls in December 2019 for a mandate to ‘Get
Brexit Done’ – only to have his administration hit by the global Covid
pandemic and toppled in a Tory putsch.
Unleashed is his account of his time in politics, and a book that
shatters the mould of the modern prime ministerial memoir. Written in
his inimitable style, it is honest, unrestrained and deeply revealing
about the politician who has dominated our times.
This is his story of the fifteen years since he trounced Ken
Livingstone at the polls to become mayor of London. Riots, tackling
knife crime, bikes, buses, the London Olympics, and so much more. He
writes about his role in Brexit, takes readers through all the big
decisions and his reasons for taking them, and describes how he nearly
died from Covid.
Underlying everything in the book is his view that the UK is an
extraordinary country and should have an exceptional future. These are
the reflections of a political leader who believes fundamentally in
levelling up – that there are millions of people in Britain who do not
have the present they need or the future they deserve, and that it is
the first job of politicians to put this right.
It is all here. From soup to nuts, warts and all. As a journalist he
was famed as a blurter of unsayable truths, and he has drawn again on
this quality for the book. About people, policies, mistakes and
triumphs. This is it – the reality as he saw it: unvarnished, unlocked,
unleashed.
