Filmed over the first months of Boris Johnson’s premiership, this film tells the inside story of the bitter hatreds that marked the Conservative Party’s struggle over the defining issue of the day – Brexit – with extraordinary access to Cabinet Ministers, Brexiteers and Remainer rebels. One minister summed up the story of this film, The sadness of this documentary is that you are mapping the day-to-day slow death of the most successful political party in democratic history. And it’s entirely self-inflicted. Or as another put it, ’It’s a shitstorm.’
Its cast includes leader of the House and arch Brexiteer Jacob Rees-Mogg, Remain rebels Nicholas Soames and Anna Soubry, bitter critic Foreign Office Minister Sir Alan Duncan, outspoken Brexiteer backbencher Andrew Bridgen, and Cabinet Minister Nicky Morgan. Her loyalties tested by the PM’s drive toward Brexit, ‘Do or Die.’ Last word to Sir Alan Duncan, ’Boris is the architect of our difficulty. So I‘m inclined to say to him. You got us into this mess mate. Now get us out of it.’
