The author's 100-strong series of YouTube comedy sketches, "The Man Next Door", is the inspiration for the book.

Debut

Michael Spicer is the man behind The Room Next Door, the viral sketches about a fictional political adviser that have amassed nearly 50 million views on social media and YouTube, earning him international acclaim and regular guest spots on TV shows both in the UK and the US, most notably The Late Late Show with James Corden.

Summary

From the creator of and man in The Room Next Door, this journal contains satirical advice to politicians ranging from Boris Johnson to Kim Jong-un.

Little is known about the secret political adviser known as the Man in the Room Next Door - only a handful of people know his real name - but this explosive journal and collection of his correspondence offers a startling insight into his life.

It reveals the elusive organisation that employs him, as well as reams of information about working with clients such as Boris Johnson, Prince Andrew and Donald Trump. From leaked documents to illicit communications, and day-to-day notes on the treacherous world he inhabits, The Secret Political Adviser is a window into the world of the most influential* political adviser on the planet.
