As I prepare to publish my biography of Sir Keir Starmer on 19 August, I am pleased to announce that my next project will be a book about Carrie Johnson. Carrie has interested me for some time. Many people know her as Boris Johnson’s wife, but her influence developed long before she moved into 10 Downing Street via her work over the last decade within the Conservative Party and also through the posts she has held working for government ministers.
Aside from politics, she has campaigned in the fields of the environment and animal rights, both of which are areas of great interest to me. As with all of my political biographies, this project will be independent, objective, open-minded, fair, factual and even-handed. The research I’ve done already has proved fascinating. As well as my forthcoming book on Starmer, titled “Red Knight”, I have published biographies of David Cameron, Jacob Rees-Mogg and Rishi Sunak in recent years. I anticipate Carrie Johnson being every bit as intriguing and rewarding a subject. I expect this book to be published early in 2022.
