Sir Graham Brady – Kingmaker, at Hatchards Piccadilly

Sir Graham Brady has been the Chairman of the 1922 Committee since 2010. As the leader of the group with the power to choose a new leader of the Conservative Party, it is his hand that held the executioner's axe over five consecutive Conservative Prime Ministers' heads.

And so we are thrilled to welcome him here to Hatchards this evening for an insider’s perspective as he discusses his new book Kingmaker and the comings – and goings – of five Prime Ministers: Cameron, May, Johnson, Truss and Sunak, and the leadership battles that have defined British politics for a decade and a half.

The last fourteen years have seen turbulence at the centre of politics that is perhaps unique in British history. From coalition to Brexit, Covid to Partygate, Trussonomics to this year's election, our government has never felt so fractured.

And one man, Sir Graham Brady, has been at the heart of every leadership challenge, seeing all, but saying nothing. Until now.

We hope you are able to join us for what will be a fascinating evening!
