David Cameron says he's 'embarrassed' by revelations of his partying and sex jokes in Lady Swire's memoirs - including jesting he'd like to 'push her into the bushes and give her one'


The former Prime Minister said he did not want details of his private life 'splashed all over the place' in an interview with Times Radio to be aired this morning.

    Slashed by her poison pen: They're the wickedest political diaries since Alan Clark's. Now, in this blistering review, we reveal the full glorious carnage of Sasha Swire's character assassinations


    Barely a single senior member of the governments of Boris Johnson, Theresa May and David Cameron emerges unscathed in the memoirs of ex-minister's wife, Sasha Swire. The idea of the current Prime Minister with his finger on the nuclear button 'scares the s***' out of Lady Swire, wife of former Tory minister Sir Hugo Swire. Nor does Lady Swire, 57, spare the blushes of the Royal Family in her book, Diary Of An MP's Wife.

    Those receiving knighthoods are never told in advance who is going to do the honours, she says, 'because if it's Princess Anne everyone complains and tries to switch days'.

    She describes Gove's close ally Dominic Cummings, Johnson's No 10 chief of staff, as 'one of those odd amoebas you find in jars in school science labs'. Cummings is a 'stark raving mad Rasputin'.

    Teaming him up with Gove, the 'most volatile member of the Government, was always an explosion waiting to happen'. Lady Swire accuses Gove of 'lying through his teeth' and says that when he fell out with Cameron over Brexit, Cameron was so angry he said he would never have Michael or his wife Sarah Vine — a Mail columnist — or his children in his house ever again.

    She says Gove also upset former Tory leadership contender Rory Stewart, who looked set to 'punch' him when Gove made a joke that backfired about a jihadi kissing Stewart's wife. It was 'nutter Michael in a nutshell'.

    John Bercow, former House of Commons Speaker: He is 'a little weasel, creepy, revolting, little goblin, gripped by his own smug sanctity, dislikes Hugo'.

    She tells how she and Home Secretary Amber Rudd casually discuss whether David Davis is 'a shagger'. They agree he isn't. She states in a preface to her book that she had never intended to publish her diaries because it would have been a 'betrayal' of her family and friends, adding that some of her entries 'might offend without meaning to'.

    Oliver Dowden, Culture Secretary: Tells Sir Hugo he was fed up with his wife's vegan cooking, so was thrilled to find a ham and chicken bake in the oven. He 'gobbled it down lustily, and when his wife came home she asked where the dog's food was'.

    William Hague former Foreign Secretary: He was 'foolish' to issue a statement about the 'gynaecological secrets' of wife Ffion in response to unsubstantiated 'gay rumours' about him. Hague is 'only ever interested in himself, his ministers are gnat bites on his ankles, or so he makes them feel'.

    Matt Hancock, Health Secretary: 'Particularly disingenuous. Quite an actor that one.'

    George Osborne, former Chancellor: Looked like a '­caddish extra on Downton Abbey'. Pasty tax showed he was 'too clever to be sensible'.

    Dominic Raab, Foreign Secretary: Arrived at a meeting 'looking like he usually looks, sweaty, just out of the gym and wanting to kill people'.

    Gove's manhood was 'like a slinky that comes down the stairs before the rest of the body,' said Sir Hugo. Cameron thought this 'hilarious'. Sir Hugo started a 'male conversation' at the same party 'about which women in politics are beddable and which aren't'.

    She is no less ruthless in her treatment of Michael Gove. At one point, after a meeting of the National Security Council, Sir Hugo tells her he is 'starting to think Gove is ever so slightly ­bonkers'. She adds that William Hague looked 'exasperated every time Gove spoke'.

    Cameron 'gave Gove a b*****king' and 'went ballistic' when the ­Scotsman publicly attacked the 'preposterous' number of Etonians in Cameron's inner circle. Boris Johnson's brother, ex-Tory MP Jo, 'almost burst into tears when he read it'.

    Gove's aim in saying this was to wreck Boris Johnson's chances of succeeding Cameron, declares Lady Swire, who adds: Gove is a 'loose cannon' and, as an ex-journalist, 'mistakes headlines for achievements'.

    When Philip Hammond was Chancellor in the May government and Boris Johnson asked him for an extra £150million for the NHS, Hammond replied 'silly boy', treating him like a 'stupid child'.

    David Davis, then Brexit Secretary, 'actually clipped Boris over the back of the head with his hand' at the same meeting, shocking other ministers. Boris is a 'big, fat, yellow, bouncy Labrador,' says Lady Swire. 'He is curiously vulnerable and longs to be loved and cannot understand it when he is not.'
