Many politicians have written memoirs of their time in Westminster. Often they are self-serving and revisionist, or just plain boring.
There was Theresa May’s plodding treatise, The Abuse of Power (“I wish Theresa May hadn’t written this book,” said one reviewer), Boris Johnson’s Unleashed (“irritating”, “overhyped”) and Liz Truss’s much derided Ten Years to Save the West (“one of the most shamelessly unrepentant, petulant, politically and economically jejune and cliche-ridden books I’ve read”).
