Francis Elliott
Francis Elliott and James Hanning, joint authors of CAMERON: THE RISE OF THE NEW CONSERVATIVE, were colleagues at the Independent on Sunday at the time of the book’s publication by Fourth Estate in 2007. Francis then spent 13 years at the Times (first as South Asia Editor and then Political Editor), became Director of Advocacy at Engage Britain and, in 2023, he was appointed Editor of The House Magazine.
Their biography, the first, of then new Tory leader and now Prime Minister, David Cameron, was reviewed to excellent critical acclaim: ‘an essential political textbook’, ‘this highly rewarding biography lays out the story brilliantly’, ‘they’ve done their research, and it shows’. CAMERON was released in paperback in the UK in 2009 and it was published by Italy’s Nuove Idee at the end of 2009 and in China by Shanghai People’s Publishing House in 2011. An updated edition of CAMERON was published in 2012.
Francis Elliott lives in London with his wife Jane and their children, Ben and Joe.
