Carrie Johnson is not only the consort of the Prime Minister, Boris
Johnson; she is also considered by some to be the second most
powerful unelected woman in Britain after the Queen. Since she
moved into Downing Street in July 2019, questions have been raised
about her perceived influence, her apparent desire to control
events, and the number of her associates who have been appointed to
positions of standing in the government machine. So, are these
concerns justified? In this carefully researched unauthorised
biography, Michael Ashcroft charts the extraordinary ascent of Mrs
Johnson, speaking to multiple sources who have been close to her
and to Boris Johnson in recent years to produce a fascinating
portrait of a woman who is still under the age of thirty-five. The
book scrutinises Mrs Johnson's colourful family, her attempt to
become a professional actress, and her early decision to work in
politics. Long before she moved into No. 10, Mrs Johnson made a
name for herself as a Conservative Party press aide before becoming
a special adviser to two Cabinet ministers and eventually director
of communications at Conservative campaign headquarters. Aside from
politics, she is also the mother of two young children and
campaigns in the fields of the environment and animal welfare.
Carrie Johnson is without doubt a very modern prime ministerial
spouse. This examination of her career and life offers the
electorate the chance to assess exactly what role she plays in
Boris Johnson's unpredictable administration and why that matters.
