Jeffrey Howard Archer, Baron Archer of Weston-super-Mare (born xv April 1940)[1] is an English novelist, life peer and former politician. Before becoming an author, Archer was a Fellow member of Parliament (1969–1974), simply did not seek re-election after a fiscal scandal that left him nearly broke.[2] He revived his fortunes every bit a best-selling novelist; his books have sold more than 320 1000000 copies worldwide.[three]

Archer became deputy chairman of the Conservative Party (1985–86), before resigning after a newspaper accused him of paying coin to a prostitute. In 1987, he won a courtroom case and was awarded large damages because of this claim.[iv] He was fabricated a life peer in 1992 and afterwards became Conservative candidate to exist the start elected Mayor of London. He resigned his candidacy in 1999 subsequently it emerged that he had lied in his 1987 libel case. He was imprisoned (2001–2003) for perjury and perverting the course of justice, ending his active political career.[3]

Early on life and instruction [edit]

Jeffrey Howard Archer was born in the Metropolis of London Maternity Hospital in Holloway, London on 15 April 1940.[5] He was 2 weeks old when his family unit moved to Somerset, somewhen settling in the seaside town of Weston-super-Mare,[half dozen] where Archer spent most of his early life.[7] His begetter, William (died 1956),[8] was 64 years one-time when Jeffrey Archer was born. Early in his career, Archer gave conflicting accounts to the printing of his begetter'southward supposed, but non-existent, war machine career.[7] William Archer was, in fact, a bigamist, fraudster, and conman, who impersonated another William Archer, a deceased war medal holder. He was at different times employed as a chewing gum salesman in New York and a mortgage broker in London. In the latter capacity, he was charged at the Old Bailey for a serial of fraud offences. On being allowed bail, he absconded to America under the name William Grimwood. In America, William Archer fathered a child, Rosemary Turner (21 June 1917 – 11 Oct 1986), Jeffrey'due south half-sis. In 1940 Rosemary married lawyer Brien McMahon who went on to become the Autonomous senator for Connecticut (1945–1952) and a contender for the Democratic presidential nomination in 1952. After Brien McMahon'southward death that year, Rosemary married, in 1953, the Belgian ambassador to Washington, Baron Silvercruys. The First Lady, Mamie Eisenhower, was the guest-of-award at their wedding.[9] [10] [11] Equally a boy Archer dreamt of existence captain of the Bristol Rovers Football Gild. He is still a fan of the order.[12]

Wellington School [edit]

In 1951, Archer won a scholarship to Wellington School in Somerset, not Wellington College in Berkshire, as he was later inclined to claim later passing the 11-plus.[8] At this time his mother, Lola, was employed as a journalist on Weston's local newspaper, the Weston Mercury.[xiii] She wrote a weekly column entitled "Over the Teacups", and frequently wrote about Jeffrey, calling him 'Tuppence'.[14] Although Archer enjoyed the local fame this brought him, it caused him to be the victim of bullying while at Wellington School.[4]

Archer left school with O-levels in English literature, art, and history. He and so spent a few years in a variety of jobs, including preparation with the ground forces and a brusk period with the Metropolitan Constabulary.[iv] He later worked as a physical education teacher, offset at Vicar'due south Loma, a preparatory school in Hampshire, and afterwards at Dover Higher in Kent.[7]

Oxford [edit]

In 1963 Archer was offered a identify at the Oxford University Department for Continuing Education to report for a Diploma of Education. The course was based in the department, and Archer became a member of Brasenose College. At that place have been claims that Archer provided fake prove of his academic qualifications to Brasenose Higher, the credible citing of an American institution which was actually a bodybuilding social club, for instance, in gaining admission to the class.[iv] [fifteen] Information technology has likewise been declared Archer provided faux statements almost three non-existent A-level passes and a U.S. academy degree.[13] Although the diploma class just lasted a year, Archer spent a full of iii years at Oxford.[4] The reasons for this are unclear.

At Oxford, Archer was successful in athletics, competing in sprinting and hurdling, and became president of the Oxford Academy Athletic Order.[4] Television coverage survives of him making false starts in a 1964 sprint race, but he was not disqualified. He gained a blueish in athletics and went on to run for England, and one time competed for Britain.[13]

Archer raised money for the charity Oxfam, obtaining the back up of The Beatles in a fundraising drive. The band accepted his invitation to visit the Principal'due south lodge at Brasenose College, where they were photographed with Archer and dons of the college,[sixteen] although they did not play there. The critic Sheridan Morley, then a student at Merton, was present and recalled the occasion:

At the interval I went to the toilet, and at that place beside me was Ringo Starr. He asked if I knew this Jeffrey Archer bloke. I said anybody in Oxford was trying to work out who he was. Ringo said: 'He strikes me as a nice enough fella, only he'due south the kind of bloke who would bottle your piss and sell information technology.'[5]

Early on career [edit]

After leaving Oxford, Archer continued as a charity fundraiser, initially working for the National Birthday Trust,[17] a medical charity that promoted safe childbirth, before joining the United Nations Association (UNA) as its primary fundraiser. The so chairman of the UNA, Humphry Berkeley, alleged that there were numerous discrepancies in Archer'southward expense claims whilst he worked at the UNA.[5] [18]

Around this time, Archer began a career in politics, serving equally a Conservative councillor on the Greater London Council (1967–1970).[xiii]

Archer set up his own fundraising and public relations company, Arrow Enterprises, in 1969.[xix] That same twelvemonth he opened an art gallery, the Archer Gallery, in Mayfair. The gallery specialised in mod art, including pieces by the sculptor and painter Leon Underwood. The gallery ultimately lost money, nevertheless, and Archer sold information technology two years afterwards.[20]

Fellow member of Parliament [edit]

At 29, Archer was elected Member of Parliament (MP) for the Lincolnshire constituency of Louth, belongings the seat for the Conservative Party in a by-ballot on 4 Dec 1969.[13] Archer trounce Ian Gow to the selection afterwards winning over a substantial proportion of younger members at the pick coming together. The national party had concerns about Archer'south selection, specifically relating to the UNA expenses allegations made by Humphry Berkeley, himself a former Bourgeois MP. Berkeley tried to persuade the Bourgeois Central Office that Archer was unsuitable as a parliamentary candidate.[xviii] Archer brought a defamation action against Berkeley and the story was kept out of the printing, although a truncated version of the story did announced in The Times.[4] The instance was eventually settled out of court, with Archer agreeing to pay legal costs of around £thirty,000.[21]

Louth constituency had three key areas: Louth, Cleethorpes, and Immingham. During his fourth dimension as an MP, Archer was a regular at the Immingham Conservative Club in the most working-course office of the constituency. In 1970 he took part in the Kennedy Memorial Exam, a l-mile running/walking race from Louth to Skegness and dorsum.[22]

In parliament, Archer was on the left of the Conservative Party, rebelling against some of his party'southward policies. He advocated free Boob tube licences for elderly people and was against museum archway charges.[23] In 1971, he employed David Mellor to deal with his correspondence. He tipped Mellor to reach the cabinet. In an interview, in February 1999 Archer said, "I hope we don't return to extremes. I'm what you lot might call middle-right merely I've always disliked the right wing as much as I've disliked the left wing."[24]

Financial crisis [edit]

In 1974, Archer was a casualty of a fraudulent investment scheme involving a Canadian company chosen Aquablast. The debacle lost him his first fortune and left him nigh £500,000 in debt.[four] Fearing imminent defalcation, he stood down every bit an MP at the Oct 1974 general election.

While he was a witness in the Aquablast case in Toronto in 1975, Archer was accused of stealing iii suits from a department store.[25] Archer denied the accusation for many years, only in the tardily 1990s he finally acknowledged that he had taken the suits, although he claimed that at the fourth dimension he had not realised he had left the shop.[4] No charges were ever brought.

Writing career [edit]

Archer wrote his beginning book, Not a Penny More, Non a Penny Less, in the autumn of 1974, every bit a means of avoiding bankruptcy.[5] The book was picked up past the literary agent Deborah Owen and published start in the U.South., so eventually in Britain in the autumn of 1976. A radio adaptation was aired on BBC Radio 4 in the early 1980s and a BBC Tv accommodation of the volume was broadcast in 1990.[26]

Kane and Abel (1979) proved to be his all-time-selling piece of work, reaching number 1 on The New York Times bestsellers listing. Like about of his early piece of work, it was edited by Richard Cohen, the Olympic fencing gold-medallist.[17] It was made into a boob tube mini-serial by CBS in 1985, starring Peter Strauss and Sam Neill. The following year, Granada TV screened a 10-role adaptation of another Archer bestseller, First Among Equals, which told the story of four men and their quest to become prime minister. In the U.S. edition of the novel, the grapheme of Andrew Fraser was eliminated, reducing the number of protagonists to iii.[27]

As well as novels and brusque stories, Archer has also written three stage plays. The first, Beyond Reasonable Doubt, opened in 1987 and ran at the Queen's Theatre in London'south West End for over a year.[28] Archer's next play, Exclusive, was non well received by critics, and closed subsequently a few weeks. His final play, The Accused, opened at the Theatre Royal, Windsor on 26 September 2000, before transferring to the Theatre Royal, Haymarket in the West End in December.[29]

In 1988 author Kathleen Burnett accused Archer of plagiarising a story she'd written and including it in his brusque-story collection, A Twist in the Tale. Archer denied he had plagiarised the story, claiming he'd simply been inspired past the thought.[thirty]

Whilst Archer'south books are commercially successful, critics have been generally unfavourable towards his writing.[31] Journalist Hugo Barnacle, writing for The Independent about The Quaternary Estate (1996), thought the novel, while demonstrating that "the editors don't seem to have done whatever work", was "not wholly unsatisfactory".[32]

Archer has said that he spends considerable fourth dimension writing and re-writing each book. He goes abroad to write the first draft, working in blocks of two hours at a fourth dimension, and so writes anything up to 17 drafts in total.[33] Since 2010, Archer has written the first typhoon of each new book at his villa in Majorca, called "Author's Block".[34]

In 2011, Archer published the first of seven books in The Clifton Chronicles series, which follow the life of Harry Clifton from his birth in 1920, through to his funeral in 1993. The starting time novel in the serial, Just Time Will Tell, tells the story of Harry from 1920 through to 1940, and was published in the Great britain on 12 May 2011.[3] The 7th and final novel in the series, This Was a Man, was published on iii November 2016.[35]

The Brusque, the Long and the Tall, an illustrated collection of Archer's curt stories, was published in November 2020, with watercolour illustrations by artist Paul Cox.[36]

Over My Dead Body was published in Oct 2021, and is the 4th book in a series featuring detective William Warwick.[37]

In Jan 2020 it was reported that Archer had sued his former literary agents, Curtis Brown, for £500,000 in unpaid royalties.[38]

Render to politics [edit]

Deputy party chairman [edit]

Archer's political career revived in the 1980s, and he became a popular speaker among the Conservative grassroots. He was appointed deputy chairman of the Bourgeois Party past Margaret Thatcher in September 1985. Norman Tebbit, party chairman, had misgivings over the appointment, as did other prominent members of the party, including William Whitelaw and Ted Heath.[13] During his tenure as deputy chairman, Archer was responsible for a number of embarrassing moments, including his statement, fabricated during a live radio interview, that many immature, unemployed people were simply unwilling to notice work.[vii] At the time of Archer's annotate, unemployment in the United kingdom of great britain and northern ireland stood at a record 3.four one thousand thousand. Archer was later forced to apologise for the remark, saying that his words had been "taken out of context". Archer resigned every bit deputy chairman in October 1986 due to a scandal caused past an article in The News of the World, which led with the story, "Tory boss Archer pays vice-girl", and claimed Archer had paid Monica Coghlan, a prostitute, £2,000 through an intermediary at Victoria Station to go abroad.[iv]

Daily Star libel case [edit]

Shortly after The News of the World story broke, rival tabloid the Daily Star ran a story alleging Archer had paid for sex with Coghlan, something The News of the World had been careful to avoid stating direct.[4] Archer responded by suing the Daily Star.[39] The case came to court in July 1987. Explaining the payment to Coghlan as the action of a philanthropist rather than that of a guilty man, Archer won the case and was awarded £500,000 damages.[40] Archer stated he would donate the money to charity.[41] Withal, this example would ultimately result in Archer's final exit from forepart-line politics some years afterward. The description the approximate (Mr Justice Caulfield) gave of Mrs Archer in his jury instructions included: "Remember Mary Archer in the witness-box. Your vision of her probably will never disappear. Has she elegance? Has she fragrance? Would she accept, without the strain of this trial, radiance? How would she appeal? Has she had a happy married life? Has she been able to savour, rather than suffer, her husband Jeffrey?" The judge then went on to say of Jeffrey Archer, "Is he in need of cold, unloving, rubber-insulated sex in a seedy hotel circular about quarter to 1 on a Tuesday morning subsequently an evening at the Caprice?"[42]

Although the Archers claimed they were a normal, happily-married couple, by this time, according to the announcer Adam Raphael, Jeffrey and Mary Archer were living largely dissever lives. The editor of the Daily Star, Lloyd Turner, was sacked six weeks after the trial by the newspaper'southward owner Lord Stevens of Ludgate.[43] Adam Raphael before long afterward constitute proof that Archer had perjured himself at the trial, just his superiors were unwilling to have the risk of a potentially plush libel example.[44] The News of the World later settled out-of-court with Archer, acknowledging they, too, had libelled him.[forty]

Kurdish charity and peerage [edit]

When Saddam Hussein suppressed Kurdish uprisings in 1991, Archer, with the Crimson Cross, set up the charity Uncomplicated Truth, a fundraising entrada on behalf of the Kurds.[45] In May 1991, Archer organised a charity pop concert, starring Rod Stewart, Paul Simon, Sting and Gloria Estefan, who all performed free of charge. Archer stated that his charity had raised £57,042,000, though it was later reported that only £3 million came from the Simple Truth concert and entreatment, the rest from aid projects sponsored by the British and other governments, with significant amounts pledged before the concert.[45] The charity would afterward incur farther controversy. Having been previously rejected,[45] Archer was made a life peer on 27 July 1992 as Baron Archer of Weston-super-Mare, of Marking in the Canton of Somerset.[46] Prime Minister John Major recommended him largely considering of Archer's role in aid to the Kurds.[45] Archer and Major had been friends for a number of years.[47]

Political statements in 1990s [edit]

In a speech at the 1993 Conservative conference, Archer urged and so Home Secretary Michael Howard, to "Stand and deliver," proverb: "Michael, I am sick and tired of being told by old people that they are frightened to open the door, they're frightened to exit at night, frightened to use the parks and byways where their parents and grandparents walked with freedom ... We say to you: stand up and deliver!". He then attacked fierce films and urged tougher prison weather condition to prevent criminals from re-offending. He criticised the part of "practice-gooders" and finished off the speech by denouncing the opposition party'southward constabulary and order policies.[48] This was a time when Archer was actively seeking another front-line political role.[49]

On Question Time on 20 Jan 1994,[50] Archer said that 18 should exist the age of consent for gay sexual practice, as opposed to 21, which it was at the time.[51] Archer though was opposed to the age of consent for gay men being 16.[52] Historian David Starkey was on the same edition, and said of Archer: "Englishmen like you enjoy sitting on the fence so much because you enjoy the sensation."[51] [52] Archer has too consistently been an opponent of a render to death sentence.[53]

Allegations of insider dealings [edit]

In January 1994, Mary Archer, and then a director of Anglia Television, attended a directors' coming together at which an impending takeover of Anglia Television by MAI, which endemic Tiptop Broadcasting, was discussed. The following day, Jeffrey Archer bought l,000 shares in Anglia Tv set, acting on behalf of a friend, Broosk Saib. Shortly after this, it was announced publicly that Anglia Telly would exist taken over by MAI. Every bit a result, the shares jumped in value, whereupon Archer sold them on behalf of his friend for a profit of £77,219.[28] The arrangements he made with the stockbrokers meant he did not accept to pay at the time of buying the shares.[43]

An enquiry was launched by the Stock Commutation into possible insider trading. The Department of Trade and Manufacture, headed by Michael Heseltine, appear that Archer would not be prosecuted due to insufficient bear witness. His solicitors admitted that he had made a error, simply Archer later said that he had been exonerated.[28]

London mayoral campaigning [edit]

In 1999, Archer had been selected by the Conservative Party as candidate for the London mayoral election of 2000, with the support of ii former Prime Ministers, Baroness Thatcher and John Major.[54] Eight Conservative ex-Cabinet Ministers who had been in office during the Thatcher and Major governments wrote to The Daily Telegraph in support of Archer's candidature.[54] Yet, on 21 November 1999 the News of the Globe published allegations fabricated past Ted Francis, a one-time friend of Archer, that Archer had committed perjury in his 1987 libel case. Archer withdrew his candidature the post-obit solar day.[55] Later the allegations, Archer was disowned by his party. Conservative leader William Hague explained: "This is the end of politics for Jeffrey Archer. I volition non tolerate such behaviour in my political party."[56] On 4 Feb 2000, Archer was expelled from the party for 5 years.[55]

Perjury trial and imprisonment [edit]

Trial [edit]

On 26 September 2000, Archer was charged with perjury and perverting the form of justice during the 1987 libel trial.[57] Ted Francis was charged with perverting the form of justice.[55] Simultaneously, Archer starred in a production of his ain courtroom play The Accused, staged at London'due south Theatre Royal Haymarket. The play concerned the court trial of an alleged murderer and assigned the office of jury to the audience, which would vote on the guilt of Archer'south graphic symbol at the end of each performance.[58]

The perjury trial began on 30 May 2001, a month later on Monica Coghlan'due south decease in a road traffic collision.[59] Ted Francis claimed that Archer had asked him to provide a false excuse for the night Archer was declared to have been with Monica Coghlan.[57] Angela Peppiatt, Archer's old personal assistant, also claimed Archer had fabricated an excuse in the 1987 trial. Peppiatt had kept a diary of Archer'southward movements, which contradicted bear witness given during the 1987 trial.[60] Andrina Colquhoun, Archer's former mistress, confirmed that they had been having an affair in the 1980s, thus contradicting the claim that he and Mary Archer had been "happily married" at the fourth dimension of the trial.[61]

Archer never spoke during the trial, though his wife Mary again gave prove as she had done during the 1987 trial.[62] On 19 July 2001, Archer was found guilty of perjury and perverting the course of justice at the 1987 trial. He was sentenced to four years' imprisonment by Mr Justice Potts.[63] Francis was establish not guilty. Prominent journalists admitted to having accepted Archer'due south hospitality after he was convicted.[64] [65] Archer's mother had died shortly before he was sentenced and he was released for the day to nourish her funeral.[66] [67]

Prison [edit]

Archer was initially sent to HM Prison Belmarsh, a Category "A" prison, simply was moved to HM Prison house Wayland, a Category "C" prison in Norfolk, on 9 August 2001. Despite automatically qualifying as a category "D" prisoner given it was a kickoff confidence and he did non pose a serious risk of harm to the public, his status as such was suspended awaiting a police force investigation into allegations well-nigh his Kurdish charity. He was then transferred to HM Prison house N Sea Camp, an open prison house, in October 2001. From there he was let out to work at the Theatre Royal in Lincoln, and allowed occasional habitation visits.[68]

Media reports claimed he had been abusing this privilege by attending lunches with friends, including onetime Education Secretary Gillian Shephard.[69] In September 2002 he was transferred to a Category "B" prison house, Lincoln.[70] After 3 weeks, he was moved to the Category "D" HM Prison house Hollesley Bay in Suffolk.[71]

During his imprisonment, Archer was visited by a number of loftier-profile friends, including actor Donald Sinden[72] and entertainer Barry Humphries (who performs every bit Dame Edna Everage).[73]

In October 2002, Archer repaid the Daily Star the £500,000 damages he had received in 1987, every bit well as legal costs and involvement of £1.3 million.[74] That month, he was suspended from Marylebone Cricket Club for seven years.[75]

On 21 July 2003, Archer was released on licence from Hollesley Bay after serving one-half of his sentence.[76] He remained a peer, in that location being no legal provision through which his peerage could be removed at the fourth dimension other than passing a new Act of Parliament.[77] He also retained membership of the House of Lords, which did not and then take the ability to miscarry members; however, Archer has not taken an active part in the proceedings of the House. Politically he is a not-affiliated fellow member.[78]

Prison house diaries [edit]

While in prison, Archer wrote the 3-volume memoir A Prison house Diary, with volumes fashioned afterwards Dante's Divine Comedy and named subsequently the get-go three prisons in which he was kept.[79] His prison term also served equally inspiration for nine of the 12 short stories in the collection, True cat O' Nine Tales.[80]

Kurdish assist controversy [edit]

In July 2001, shortly after Archer was jailed for perjury, Scotland M began investigating allegations that millions of pounds had disappeared from his Kurdish charity.[45] [81] In 1991, Archer had claimed to have raised £57,042,000.[45] In 1992, the Kurdish Disaster Fund wrote to Archer, lament: "You must exist concerned that the Kurdish refugees have seen hardly any of the huge sums raised in the w in their name." Kurdish groups claimed that little more £250,000 had been received by groups in Iraq.[45]

A British Red Cross-commissioned KPMG audit of the cash showed no donations were handled by Archer and any misappropriation was "unlikely", all the same KPMG also could find no prove to support Archer'due south claims to take raised £31.five million from overseas governments. The constabulary said they would launch a "preliminary assessment of the facts" from the audit merely were not investigating the Simple Truth fund.[82]

Subsequent incidents [edit]

In 2004, the regime of Equatorial Republic of guinea alleged that Archer was one of the financiers of the failed 2004 coup d'état try against it, citing bank details and telephone records as evidence.[83] In 2009, Archer said: "I am completely relaxed nearly information technology. Mr Mann [Simon Mann, the English mercenary leader of the coup] has made articulate that it's nothing to do with me." In 2011, Mann, imprisoned in Equatorial Guinea for his part in leading the failed 2004 coup d'état but released on humanitarian grounds later, told The Daily Telegraph that his forthcoming book, Weep Havoc, would reveal "the financial involvement of a controversial and internationally famous member of the British House of Lords in the plot, backed upwards past banking records." He claimed documents from the banking company accounts in Guernsey of ii companies Mann used every bit vehicles for organising the insurrection, showed a 'J H Archer' paying $135,000 into 1 of the firms.[84]

Personal life [edit]

Archer has been married to Mary Weeden since July 1966.[13] They met at Oxford Academy, where Weeden was studying chemistry at St Anne's College.[85] She went on to specialise in solar power.[86]

They take two children: William Archer (built-in 1972), a theatrical producer,[87] and James Archer (born 1974), a financial adviser and man of affairs.

In 1979 the Archers purchased the Former Vicarage, Grantchester,[88] a house associated with the poet Rupert Brooke. Every summer, they host a lavish garden party in the grounds to gloat their wedding anniversary.[89] By the early 1980s Archer was dorsum in a comfortable fiscal position and began to hold shepherd's pie and Krug parties for prominent people at his London penthouse, which overlooks the River Thames and the Houses of Parliament.[4] [xviii]

On 26 February 2006, on Andrew Marr's Sunday AM programme, Archer said he had no interest in returning to front-line politics and would pursue his writing instead.[90]

Archer in fiction [edit]

Archer was satirically portrayed as a misunderstood secret agent, saviour of Uk and mankind and "overall thoroughly good chap", by actor Damian Lewis in the BBC drama Jeffrey Archer: The Truth (2002).[91] Scriptwriter Guy Jenkin explained that "my Jeffrey Archer is the man who has oft saved Britain over the last thirty years. He's beloved of all women he comes across, all men, all dogs—he'due south a superhero."[91]

In the Amazon serial Good Omens a reference is made by one of the angels in Aziraphale's bookshop, "Something smells evil." Aziraphale replies, "Oh, that would be the Jeffrey Archer books, I'm afraid."
