Henry Morris couldn’t be further from the Westminster bubble, but for years he has lampooned MPs online.

He is still personal training (remotely), chopping logs, learning Welsh and working on a sitcom idea. From Brexit to Covid, parties to pig culling, the Conservative government has lurched from crisis to crisis. Nobody was in any doubt that it was parody, but somehow, between the dense and granular detail, and the playful, insidery tone, people thought he was very close to the action; a special adviser, maybe? Biography: Henry Morris is a personal trainer and rave promoter, and author of the infamous Diary of a Secret Tory MP. All my mates back home were really clever and sharp, and working behind a till; all they’d need to do is move to London and they would be earning six figures.A modern day polymath, they enjoy bloodsports, destabilising liberal democracy and several non-executive directorships, including one at Southern Water where they claim to have been responsible for over three-hundred beach closures in 2022 alone. Join the mystery MP as he drunk-texts Liz Truss after a crate of WKD, accompanies Jacob Rees-Mogg (and his kids) to picket a foodbank, takes on the French in the 'Trawler Wars', and euthanises Rishi Sunak's dog - and that's just October.

I know exactly what he means: there is a perception of media and political elites as operating on a higher plane, and it’s absolutely warped, but I’m not sure it’s about London – isn’t it about class? He would tweet imagined WhatsApp messages between ministers, Alice in Wonderland fantasias that disappeared into the wilds of Liz Truss’s ignorance and Jacob Rees-Mogg’s creepiness.Lots of Conservative MPs were following him on Twitter; people started to slide into his DMs to congratulate him on a point well landed, or make suggestions.

Maybe I’m being unfair, but she looks at him as if he is sort of unpredictable and unsanitary, like a bird in an airport.I’d always thought [about politicians]: ‘There are some bad apples but largely they are trying to make the world a better place. The 2019 Conservative MPs are self-interested, they’re corrupt, they’re mean-spirited, largely stupid and, as far as I can tell, filling their helicopters and firing up the shredders before they get booted out at the next election. Surprisingly literate, The Secret Tory is also behind the trenchant and insightful Papua New Guinea Courier, also available via his twitter page. He went to the University of Manchester to study comparative religion, moving to London in his late 20s, “because Ellie was there”.
