Simon Hart – Ungovernable
- Main Information
The Political Diaries of a Chief Whip
Former Chief Whip and MP Simon Hart had a front-row seat in the most turbulent times in Britain’s recent political history. From negotiations around Brexit, the impact of Liz Truss’s extraordinary 49-day premiership to the Russian invasion of Ukraine, he’s seen and heard it all. None of this stopped him from becoming one of the few chief whips – of which there have been eleven since 2010 – to survive for an entire premiership. Revisiting diaries kept throughout his career, Ungovernable is an insider’s story and unflinching look into the heart of British politics from the centre of government.
