LONDON (HRNW) – Former British Prime Minister Boris Johnson has struck a deal with publisher Harper Collins to write a memoir that will cover his role at the centre of one of the most dramatic periods in recent British history.
Johnson stood down as prime minister in early September after his ministers resigned en masse over a string of scandals, including parties at the heart of government when the rest of Britain was under a strict lockdown during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Harper Collins said on Monday that Johnson had signed an agreement but did not give any details about how much he would be paid or when the book would be released.
Johnson s time in office covered Britain s departure from the European Union, the COVID-19 pandemic and subsequent revelations about parties which broke lockdown rules in government buildings, and Britain s initial response to Russia s invasion of Ukraine.
Arabella Pike, the publishing director at a division of Harper Collins, who has acquired the rights to the book, called it a “memoir like no other”.
