A former No 10 aide to both Theresa May and Boris Johnson , she is about to publish her second novel to feature venal, sex-mad MPs being led astray by their libidos.

Everyone is either having affairs, dragging a Spad (special advisor) into a BBC cupboard for a fruity encounter before appearing on Politics Tonight or logging on to a Tory-centric porn website called Blue Balls and Bazoomas.

A former prime minister pleasures himself in the bath while watching a tape of Winston Churchill's funeral and listening to Elgar's Nimrod.
