Behind the Headlines: A parallel Universe. Arrogance, Corruption, Dither and Delay (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781915338532)

Hot on the heels of Sue Wood's successful debut book "Beneath the Bluster. A Diary of Despair" comes her long-awaited sequel "Behind the Headlines. A Parallel Universe." These two books cover the entire premiership of Boris Johnson and are written in the form of a diary. Every lie, every new draconian law, every detail of underfunding and under resourcing, every broken promise, and every act of incompetence and ignorance are detailed in chapters about the NHS, the Criminal Justice System, Children, Asylum Seekers, Women, Brexit, Farming, Fishing and levelling Up. She also has a complete chapter titled Boris Johnson. From his speech to Conference in October 2021 to his resignation on 7th July 2022 every detail is recorded day by day and sometimes hour by hour. The actions of Ministers such as Priti Patel, Dominic Raab, Jacob Rees-Mogg, Nadine Dorries, Liz Truss, Suella Braverman, and others are all documented. The investigations into Partygate, and into the claims of sexual harassment and misogyny of many MPs are also recorded in detail as are the links with Russia and Russian oligarchs.

Boris Johson's government destroyed the lives and livelihoods of so many and they are all remembered in this book. He resigned in disgrace and he must not be allowed to re-write history. The facts are all here and this book shines the spotlight onto a period of government which will be seen as the most shameful in the history of the United Kingdom.
