Even better, they are written from the point of view of an insider; Sacha Swire is the daughter of another Tory Minister and devotee of Margaret Thatcher, John Nott, and has the ethics and ethos of the Tory Party imbued in her like letters in a stick of Blackpool Rock. The small clique of people at the top are also exposed with waspish irreverence by Sasha Swire in Diary of an MP's Wife.

Perennials PERENNIALS constant friends A selection of novels, memoirs and more by some of our favourite authors. Despite all the trumpeting in the press about how no one (especially their friends the Camerons) would ever speak to her again, her overall assessment of David Cameron was complimentary. Viele Tagebuchschreiber betätigen sich als Chronisten, reflektieren ihr Leben und bereichern die Geschichtsschreibung um eine Menge Klatsch und Tratsch.
When she discovers Dave “laughing uproariously” in conversation with her husband about the supposedly unusual characteristics of historian Andrew Roberts’s “male member” and comparing notes on which female politicians were “beddable”, she is positively indulgent. The small clique of people at the top are also exposed with waspish irreverence by Sasha Swire in Diary of an MP's Wife . My first laugh out load moment was when, attempting to get a glimmer of a smile from the Countess of Wessex, La Swire explained that she was a Slav, and therefore in a permanent state of wanting to murder people.
Unsurprisingly, she was scathing about Michael Gove (it’s a national sport, really) and surprisingly unpleasant about Sarah Vine, for reasons, I concluded, of jealousy. We read of parties in Cornwall, dinner parties with the Prince of Wales, shooting parties, Russian oligarch parties, parties with Tony Blair, Rupert Murdoch, and Murdoch's former wife, Wendy Deng. Ten years ago, reviewing Alastair Campbell's diaries for the Spectator , I concluded as follows: "Who will be the chroniclers of the Cameron government? Set against a backdrop of country house shooting weekends and boozy dinners at Chequers, but seen through the sceptical eyes of a woman one step removed from the head-butting stags, there is acute political intelligence at work from Lady Swire, wife of Sir Hugo Swire, former MP for East Devon from 2010-2016, a Minister of State for the Northern Ireland Office and Foreign Office and who was the daughter of John Nott.There is much sniggering public schoolboy sex chat – jokes about the size of fellow MPs’ honourable members, referring to the current health secretary as Matt Hands on Cock – and a startling moment on a Cornish coastal walk with the Camerons, where the then prime minister asks Sasha not to walk in front of him because her perfume makes him want to “push you into the bushes and give you one”. Sasha Swire was raised and educated in west Cornwall, where her father, Sir John Nott, was MP for the St Ives constituency. I know people like this, they really think that they are so “speshul” that the normal rules and conventions need not/ought not to apply to such as them. I was pleased to have all my prejudices about Sir John Nott confirmed (a cursed name in many Naval households).
