If true, and there is plenty of evidence to support many of the statements made in the book. It confirms what many people have suspected and believed about the inner workings of political parties and politicians in general over recent years. The phrase, the first thing you do after shaking hands with a politician is to count your fingers and then wipe your palms clean is absolutely true. God made politicians to show ordinary people how low it’s possible to sink. I still wonder how an elected Prime Minister with an 80 seat majority composed of many red wall constituents who have never voted Tory in my lifetime could be defenestrated by his so called colleagues in spite of his enormous popularity with the electorate. That makes a mockery of the democratic electoral process.
