The former PM who was turfed out of office after the Partygate scandal today publishes his tell-all memoir - Unleashed - and says he regrets apologising over No10 parties

Johnson's memoir has been long-awaited: in January last year, his register of interests revealed he had received a £510,000 advance, well above the £7,674 his successor Liz Truss received for her book 10 Years To Save The West.

In his shameless and predictable 772-page account of events, the former PM forgoes the truth to paint a preposterous picture of himself as a man of destiny, too good for his own good

Boris Johnson's new book, Unleashed, will be released on Thursday. The memoir has been long-awaited: in January last year, his register of interests revealed he had received a £510,000 advance, well above the £7,674 his successor Liz Truss received for her book 10 Years To Save The West.

Now, finally, we are offered a chance to see the real Johnson with the publication of his tell-all memoir: Unleashed.

Unleashed’ is the product of his ‘split personality’ and reads like ‘Billy Bunter let loose in Westminster’, writes former home secretary
