The diary titled "Unmanageable" by Simon Hart, the Deputy Leader of the Conservative Party in the UK, recounts the scandals that occurred during his time serving as the right-hand man to Prime Minister Rishi Sunak.
Striking details have emerged from the diary titled "Unmanageable" by Simon Hart, the Deputy Chairman of the UK Conservative Party. Hart recounts the scandals that occurred during his 18-month tenure as the right-hand man to UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak.
One of the most shocking incidents involved a Member of Parliament calling Hart at midnight. The MP claimed he was trapped in a brothel in Bayswater due to a woman he met at the Conservative Party's Carlton club, whom he suspected to be a KGB agent. Hart arranged a taxi to rescue the MP, but the MP ended up in even bigger trouble after getting into the wrong taxi.
Hart's diary also includes a ten-minute, rage-filled speech directed at the Prime Minister by former Home Secretary Suella Braverman after her dismissal. Additionally, the claim that Sunak said of a female minister, "She's useless, but we can't get rid of her," sparked significant controversy.
The diary describes incidents of harassment and bullying among MPs, scandals involving party advisors, and tensions with civil servants. Hart laments the lack of self-awareness among his colleagues and criticizes their competition to take selfies with the King.
Hart also recounts incidents such as former Health Secretary Matt Hancock requesting permission to participate in a reality show and Andrew Bridgen being expelled from the party for comparing the Covid vaccine to the Holocaust.
This diary lays bare the behind-the-scenes of British politics while also revealing the chaos within the ruling Conservative Party in recent times.
