Rake's Progress

Rachel Johnson was always keen to avoid the family business and plough her own furrow. But, after the 2016 EU referendum, she felt the heavy hand of fate. When an insurgent centre party burst onto the scene in 2019, she felt compelled to stand for something rather than nothing - which happened to be just as her brother, Boris, was making his final assault on Downing Street... Beyond her own story, RAKE'S PROGRESS highlights the importance of standing up for your beliefs, and the challenges of life in the public eye, taking the reader behind the scenes from the campaign trail to the 'Westminster bubble' and the carpeted corridors of power. Written with great honesty and self-deprecating humour, this is a book that reveals the very human side of politics.
