The Plot
The Political Assassination of Boris Johnson
Book • 2024
The Plot is a detailed and controversial account of the events leading to Boris Johnson's ousting as Prime Minister.
The book, written by Nadine Dorries, a former Culture Secretary and close ally of Johnson, suggests that his downfall was orchestrated by a secretive cabal known as the Movement, involving key figures like Dr No, Michael Gove, and Dominic Cummings.
The narrative is based on interviews with multiple inside sources, although the credibility and anonymity of some sources raise questions about the veracity of the claims.
The book paints a picture of a complex web of deceit and power struggles within the Conservative Party, but its lack of clear narrative and reliance on unverified sources make it challenging to discern fact from speculation.
