What is it like to be a wife of a politician in modern-day Britain? Sasha Swire finally lifts the lid. For more than twenty years she has kept a secret diary detailing the trials and tribulations of being a political plus-one, and gives us a ringside seat at the seismic political events of the last decade. A professional partner and loyal spouse, Swire has strong political opinions herself sometimes more No, Minister than Yes. She detonates the stereotype of the dutiful wife.
From shenanigans in Budleigh Salterton to state banquets at Buckingham Palace, gun-toting terrorist busters in pizza restaurants to dinners in Downing Street sitting next to Boris Johnson, Devon hedges to partying with City hedgies, she observes the great and the not-so-great at the closest of quarters. The results are painfully revealing and often hilariously funny. Here are the friendships and the fall-outs, the general elections and the leadership contests, the scandals and the rivalries. Swire showed up, shored up and rarely shut up. She also wrote it all down. Diary of an MPs Wife is a searingly honest, wildly indiscreet and often uproarious account of what life is like in the thick of it.

Sasha Swire is a funny and captivating author. Provides insight into how a social group can end up running a country, the social workings of the conservative parliamentary party, the life of an MP. Most interesting is that Sasha Swire forfeited her career for her husbands yet was equally involved in his political decisions and it was a joint pursuit. Clearly Hugo Swire would not have been as successful without her political intelligence. The book also highlights how David Camerons government lacked the political vision of the most accomplished Post War Prime Ministers (think Atlee, Thatcher or Blair). Therefore supporting the accusation that Cameron wanted to be PM not because he had a great vision for Britain but merely because he thought he would be good at it.
