The parody account, which claimed to be piloted by an “anonymous Conservative MP”, is actually run by a man named Henry Morris, a personal trainer from Yorkshire who lives near Crymych in west Wales. There is Centre in the UK that might need persuading, even if the awfulness of the last ten years ought to do that with ease. We had these baronesses, lords and millionaires coming in to the gym where I was a personal trainer. I was just so underwhelmed’ … Morris in his home gym.

As his personal training business grew, he was working at a gym with two friends who “were also reformed characters; they’d been in even more scrapes than I had when I was younger. And we had these baronesses, lords and millionaires coming in and out, really getting off on talking to people with accents. I kept thinking: ‘You’re sitting in the House of Lords and I can run rings around you in an argument if I have to.’ I was just so underwhelmed.”

It took on a life of its own almost immediately, I remember people in the gym laughing about the account without knowing it was me, and it was very nice to have my hunch confirmed that I could make people laugh.” Henry Morris, revealed that he has been running the parody account that has amassed nearly 200,000 followers since it started in 2019. He said: ‘The problem with that was, if people come for you to be funny, and you’re being angry, it doesn’t work. But, to be honest, he's clearly an accomplished writer too. Fluidly written, substantial and including plenty of clever insight into just what's wrong with these people, I laughed, I cried...

Mr Morris exposed his true identity in a two-minute parody skit that showed Michael Gove and Jacob Rees-Mogg attempting to catch and kill him. Secret Tory is a Conservative,national treasure and service station enthusiast. They are purportedto be a sitting member of the UK Parliament and have been leaking reams of sensitive information from the heart of the Conservative government for the last three years. Quite a funny book, you need to go into it understanding it’s nothing but a comedy so therefore it’s quite light hearted and silly.

He had faith that if he could make people laugh it would be popular, but not to the extent that it reached. He told BBC News: “If people are feeling cheated I’m not a real MP, I’d like to say I’m sorry. But I’m not. It’s got a lot more to do with the behaviour of the people sitting in Westminster, than my skills as a con artist.” Mr Morris is a personal trainer and ultra-marathon runner living in Wales, and as you might have guessed from his account, he is staunchly anti-Tory.

He told the BBC: ‘It took on a life of its own almost immediately, I remember people in the gym laughing about the account without knowing it was me, and it was very nice to have my hunch confirmed that I could make people laugh.’ The satirical account, which is staunchly anti-Conservative, gained prominence when Brexit was dominating the headlines prior to the UK’s exit from the EU. Scabrous, scurrilous, hilarious and frighteningly plausible . Political satire at its blistering, biting best.’ – James O’Brien

He added: “Other people discover they’re good at things like ballet or darts. Turns out I’m very good at pretending to be a Tory MP. the book still makes one think about the state of politics and wonder why the British electorate has let this lot run the country”

The author, whoever he or she is (I’d guess it’s a he), has a grasp of some of the issues close to the heart of this blog. There is a wholly satirical account of grouse shooting and even a lord called Botham gets a short walk on part and exits after putting his foot in his mouth. How often does carbofuran get a mention in a book about the political world? People had previously speculated that the person behind the account was a high-profile comedian or a real-life MP, but Morris is a personal trainer and ultra marathon runner from Yorkshire, who now lives in Wales. The Diary of a Secret Tory MP: private dodgy dispatches from the heart of Westminster by Anon is published by Harper Collins.

It started life named Mark ne Francois pas, a reference to Conservative MP Mark Francois, later changing its name to Michael Govern Ready (alluding to Michael Gove and the oven-ready Brexit deal) before ultimately becoming The Secret Tory. 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. They currently holdthe Conservative Party conference 'WKD Blue Challenge' title, after decimating Ken Clarke's infamous seven bottle record which had stood for thirteen years.
