Description

A SUNDAY TIMES POLITICS BOOK OF THE YEAR 2023A TELEGRAPH BOOK OF THE YEAR 2023'It's so believable...

This is the perfect summer book' Lorraine Kelly, on ITV'50 Shades of Grey meets Prime Minister's Questions' Anita Rani on Woman's Hour, Radio 4'Irresistible' Mail on SundayWestminster in the 2020s, where the business of governing is the last thing on the agenda for anyone worth their salt.

In the SW1 bubble, politics moves fast, schemes are hatched and foiled - through both accident and conspiracy - within hours, and sex and power preside. When Bobby Cliveden decides to campaign against the closure of her local mental health unit, she scarcely thought it would take her straight to the heart of the UK's bustling political centre.

She heads to London to work for her local MP, the ambitious Simon Daly, and moves in with her two old university friends, Jess, a new lobby journalist, and Eva, a junior Downing Street adviser.

The three of them quickly become wrapped up in the political circus of glamorous parties, insufferable bosses and demanding workloads - and the desire to win.

Beneath the headline-grabbing battle of a male-dominated leadership contest, they discover the secret, soft-skilled machinery behind so much political change at the very highest level of government: women. Riotous and all too believable, Whips is a timely satire on politics and Party people.

Watson takes us behind the doors of Number 10 and delivers a gripping tale of modern government, filled with intrigue and scandal and written with insight and verve.

Whips delivers on every promise.
