In the high-stakes world of politics, there are superb highs and
terrible lows - and never more so than in the period since 2010,
during which so much has changed. Few are better placed to give an
insider's view of the turmoil than the Rt Hon. Dame Andrea Leadsom
MP. From working cross-party on reform of the European Union to
taking to the stage at Wembley as a key figure in the Leave
campaign, through two leadership bids, Cabinet intrigue, squaring
off against an increasingly erratic Speaker, founding a campaign to
give babies the best start for life and securing a landmark
Spending Review settlement, Andrea's story tracks the ups and downs
of a political career and particularly some of the challenges for
female MPs. In this very personal account, she gives a real insight
into the daily goings-on with ministers, parliamentary colleagues,
civil servants, special advisers, the media and constituents. As a
lifelong optimist, Andrea argues that political careers don't
always - as is so often claimed - end in failure, and explains how,
like a game of snakes and ladders, politics is often about getting
yourself into the right place at the right time.
