CLEAVAGE is the scandalous new novel from Cleo Watson, diving even deeper into the dark heart of Westminster.
Cleo Watson has spent her life in politics. Latterly, working with Boris Johnson and Dominic Cummings. Her first novel, Whips, is a gripping political novel following the stories of three young women who arrive in Westminster from very different backgrounds and who have a very front-row seat as they watch a Prime Minister lose an incredibly important European vote and the commencement of a leadership contest. A rollercoaster romp through British politics in the run up to Brexit, written by someone very close to the action at the time.
Cleo Watson has worked in politics and campaigning of one kind or another for over a decade. She worked on President Barack Obama's re-election in 2012, the 2017 and 2019 UK General Elections and the Vote Leave campaign in the 2016 EU Referendum. In Government, she served in 10 Downing Street as Theresa May's Political Adviser then Boris Johnson's co-Deputy Chief of Staff. She has had a front row seat - and, occasionally, one at the table - for some of the most decisive moments in British politics of the last few years. Whips is her first novel.
