Simon Hart: Ungovernable - The Political Diaries Of A Chief Whip
From Partygate to Brexit, over the course of five years, Simon Harthas had a front-row seat to the most turbulent times in recent political history.
He joins us in Budleigh to lift the lid on the British Government, sharing his insider account of life as chief whip where astonishingly he oversaw a near-record fifteen Conservative MPs fall by the wayside. Three of these were resignations, including Nadine Dorries and the scandal of her disappearing peerage; two were defections to Labour; and the remaining ten were suspended by Simon for offences ranging from Matt Hancocks unauthorized appearance on Im a Celebrity, Get Me Out of Here! to Lee Andersons comments about the London Mayor. Add to that the Russian invasion of Ukraine, Brexit negotiations and Liz Trusss extraordinary forty-nine-day premiership and it's fair to say he's seen and heard it all.
A remarkable insight into a critical moment. Harts wit and tolerance makes his record of a system in crisis all the more convincing and troubling Rory Stewart
