Graham Brady

Born in Salford in 1967, Sir Graham Brady was elected to parliament in 1997 as the youngest Conservative MP in the house. Brady served as a Shadow Minister under four Conservative leaders before resigning in 2007 in protest at David Cameron's opposition to grammar schools. He has been Chairman of the 1922 Committee, the group which selects the leader of the Conservative Party, since 2010. During his tenure as 1922 Committee chairman, Brady has overseen the election of three Prime Ministers - Theresa May, Liz Truss, and Rishi Sunak - as well as votes of no confidence in May and Boris Johnson. Kingmaker is his first book.
