Britain’s former prime minister has written a memoir, Unleashed, which will go on sale next week

From almost drowning in Scotland to a bug in his toilet: four of the best moments from Boris Johnson’s bookFormer British prime minister Boris Johnson and his one-time political adviser Dominic Cummings: Johnson claims Cummings was lying 'to my face'. Photograph: Getty Images’s new book Unleashed as the “political memoir of the century”.

According to Johnson, Netanyahu excused himself to use the lavatory in a “secret annex” off the foreign secretary’s office. Johnson writes he was “enraged” by this. It appears the former prime minister, a year on from his own near-death experience with Covid, asked his military commanders if it was possible to send in operatives to take the vaccines by force.

His commanders also warned that they would probably be detected and he would have to explain why he had “invaded” a Nato ally. “I secretly agreed with what they all thought but did not want to say aloud: the whole thing was nuts.”Johnson recalls how in August 2020 he went with his wife Carrie and their new baby, Wilfred, for a short holiday to a remote cottage in Skye, northwest Scotland, where it appears he almost drowned.

He donned a life jacket and jumped into the water about 600 yards from shore. One of his protection team, a “rugged” detective named Mick, swam out to help him. The kayak, meanwhile, “drifted on like the Mary Celeste”. In March 2020, he recalls a negative story in the Times about the antics of his dog Dilyn. He suspected Cummings of being behind it, although his adviser denied it. Johnson says he later found out he was lying “to my face”.
