Harry Mount

Shortly after Boris Johnson was knifed in the back by Michael Gove, a close friend of Boris's said, white-faced, to Harry Mount, 'Brexit is like some horrible curse. It kills everything it touches.' In less than 3 weeks, from the referendum vote on 23 June to Theresa May's elevation to Prime Minister, Brexit had morphed into a mass murderer.

The Bullingdon boys, Cameron and Osborne had been 'whacked', Mafia style, the Cabinet was drained of blue blood and the Notting Hill set - who had holidayed, worked and lived together for 30 years since Oxford - were torn asunder. Michael Gove and Boris Johnson, who had fought the Brexit campaign together and plotted with their wives, were ripped apart by Gove's sudden desertion.

For Corbyn, who remained in his post after the referendum, 23 out of 31 of his shadow Cabinet resigned and Farage, arguably the only real victor of the referendum, resigned his UKIP leadership within days of the result being announced.

Harry Mount gives an insider's tale of those 3 chilling weeks. He talked with many of the principal combatants as he wrote for the Evening Standard, Spectator, Mail, Telegraph and Sunday Times.
