- Summary:
- What is it like to be a wife at the beating heart of politics during two tumultuous political decades? Sasha Swire has been in a perfect position to observe and report - since for over twenty years she has been married to Hugo Swire, MP for East Devon. But hers is no subservient role: she wrote the selection speech which got her husband his job; she has been friends with David and Samantha Cameron, George and Frances Osborne, Amber Rudd, Baroness Kate Fall and many others - throughout the years of the Tory coalition and then the battle for power after the resignation of Theresa May. And she has been a passionate advocate of Brexit, having once been a Remainer. Sasha Swire is not subject to any Freedom of Information Act, unlike a government minister; nor is she bound by the restrictions of hypothetical future employment - these may be the most unfettered, revealing, and outrageous diaries since Alan Clark.
