Description

 

 

The sequel nobody wants.

After a decade of the Tories, could it get any worse?

Spoiler – it does.

Towards the end of 2021, Britain had been frogmarched into an escalating series of surreal calamities.

Brexit was a disaster, the NHS was in crisis, the government was bathed head-to-toe in impropriety, senior Tories were still acting as though the public purse was their personal feed-trough, and the air crackled with anger about PartyGate.

All of which led to an inglorious start to 2022: the year the UK saw two monarchs, three prime ministers and four chancellors.

From Boris Johnson, who trashed our international reputation and handed billions to his mates so they could ineptly fight a pandemic while he stayed at home, shagging and acting as a super-spreader; to Liz Truss, a drive-by prime minister who managed to kill off the queen and crash the economy in a single week.

And now we’re led by Rishi Sunak, who doesn’t know how to use a credit card, drives a pretend car, and grinningly promises even more poverty.

A magnificent tome, full of acerbic wit and groaning with disaster. This book is the only Brexit benefit I can think of. Send it to anyone thinking of voting Tory’ – Jemma Forte, broadcaster and writer

With scathing wit and insight, Russell Jones delivers the hilarious and terrifying no-holds-barred roast we’ve all been waiting for’ – Peter Stefanovic, journalist and broadcaster

As ever, Russell’s writing is just the job if you’re in need of a laugh AND your blood pressure is dangerously low…’ – Mitch Benn, comedian and writer
