Blue murder : the rise and fall of the Conservative government, 2010-2024 / Ben Riley-Smith. - [New edition]. - London : John Murray, 2024. - xxii, 442 pages, 16 unnumbered pages of plates : illustrations (colour) ; 20 cm.
Previous edition: published as The right to rule. 2023.
Includes bibliographical references and index.
The explosive full story of the past dozen years of Tory rule, from coalition to self-destruction. Over the last decade, the British people have seen five different Conservative Prime Ministers, with five different missions and five messages to the nation. From the ashes of a financial crisis, to a break from the EU, to a global pandemic, governments - and ideologies - have changed, but Tory power has clung on. Merciless rebellion and the swift ousting of leaders have enabled this, and yet the same ruthlessness may ultimately bring about their downfall.
