Sir Graham Brady has been the Chairman of the 1922 Committee since 2010. As the leader of the group with the power to choose a new leader of the Conservative Party, it is his hand that held the executioner’s axe over five consecutive Conservative Prime Ministers’ heads.
Cameron. May. Johnson. Truss. Sunak. Brady lifts the lid on some of the leadership battles that have defined British politics for a decade and a half. The last fourteen years have seen unprecedented turbulence at the centre of politics. From coalition to Brexit, Covid to Partygate, Trussonomics to the 2024 election, our government has never felt so fractured. And as Prime Ministers have come and gone, Brady has been at the heart of every leadership challenge, seeing all, but saying nothing. Until now. He talks to broadcaster Jane Garvey.
