Boris Johnson’s memoir "Unleashed" offers a mix of humour, controversy, and self-reflection. Packed with political drama, colourful anecdotes, and bold claims, the 772-page book highlights his years in office while hinting at possible future ambitions.
Boris Johnson’s memoir "Unleashed" has been released in the UK, with U.S. availability next week.
The 772-page book mixes humor, controversy, and political drama, covering his time as London mayor, Brexit leader, and prime minister.
Notable revelations include claims that Queen Elizabeth II had bone cancer and that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu may have planted a listening device in his office.
The book has sparked media attention, though it is largely seen as entertainment rather than serious history. Johnson reflects on scandals like Partygate, defending himself against accusations of misleading Parliament.
Despite these revelations, Johnson's political future remains uncertain, with many in the Conservative Party now distancing themselves from him.
Critics are divided: The Daily Mail called it "the political memoir of the century," while The Guardian dismissed it as "memoirs of a clown."
Johnson hints that he may run for office again, but his standing in British politics has significantly diminished.
