Most journalists seem to think they have a novel in them or wanted to be a writer when they started out. I guess all you need is a bit of imagination and, being a Tory MP in this day and age, surely that's a prerequisite anyway? I'm looking forward to reading it when it comes out.

Why do political people feel they have to write novels? Novelists don't generally go into politics. Boris, stick to the facts!
