Johnson revealed that HarperCollins would be publishing the book, saying "I am honoured that HarperCollins is publishing my personal account of the huge realignment that took place in UK politics in the last 15 years—and what may lie ahead. So stand by for my thoughts on Britain’s future to explode over the publishing world like a much-shaken bottle of champagne."[2]
