Andrew Gimson is a political journalist and writer. He is the author of an acclaimed biography of Boris Johnson, which has now been updated several times, most recently in the wake of Johnson’s appointment as Foreign Secretary in 2016; and for many years contributed the parliamentary sketch and other commentary for the Daily Telegraph.
Andrew is also the author of a history of British monarchs, Gimson’s Kings & Queens, illustrated by Martin Rowson and published by Square Peg / Random House.
A successor to this, Gimson’s Prime Ministers, again illustrated by Martin Rowson, was published in March 2018.
