Our take
AI-draftedHart's diaries cover his stints as Welsh secretary and then chief whip through some of the most chaotic years in recent Conservative Party history, and their value lies in the unglamorous mechanics they expose: whipping operations, leadership plots, and the sheer administrative disorder of governing through pandemic, Partygate, and serial leadership change.
