The Right To Rule by Ben Riley-Smith

Ben Riley-Smith examines the dozen years of Conservative rule in Britain that produced five different prime ministers, each with distinct missions and messages. He traces the arc from the financial crisis through Brexit and the pandemic, and shows how internal rebellions and rapid ousting of leaders both sustained and weakened the party. Drawing on the author's access and inside stories, the book connects episodes from Cameron's coalition and the referendum rifts to May's travails, Johnson's tenure, the Truss implosion and the Sunak patch-up.
