These extracts are frightfully candid, infuriating and exasperating, sad and bitter, funny, self-aggrandising, unknowing. It is about upsetting separations and divorces – her own, yes, but also the bust-up between Boris Johnson and Gove, as well as the falling outs between Tory Remainer and Brexiter wives.
Her description of her marriage and Boris Johnson’s chaotic government unravelling at the same time is, unintentionally, poetic. Snaky Gove was in both dramas. One of the saddest revelations in the book is about Vine moving into the box room after trying to make Michael feel loved, “but it seemed I couldn’t make him care about anything but his one true passion: politics”. She’s believed that for years.
The book displays the shambolic, narcissistic, mendacious and ethically challenged Tory MPs and ministers from David Cameron to Boris Johnson and beyond. There are wonderfully malevolent descriptions of Johnson, Andrea Leadsom, Theresa May, and Gove himself.

It’s hard to muster sympathy for Vine, who we know from email leaks exerted considerable influence on her ex. He, Dominic Cummings, Johnson and other plotters took us out of the EU with fraudulent claims and promises. Couples, families, communities, neighbourhoods were fractured. The bones will not mend. The country is still broken. She doesn’t appear to give a damn about that.
For right-wingers like Vine, it’s all about me, me, me; us, us, us. Her book is a good reminder of why we got sick of them and voted them out.
For that I am immensely grateful.
