*A BOOK OF THE YEAR FOR THE FT, GUARDIAN, SUNDAY TIMES, TELEGRAPH, TIMES, OBSERVER, i NEWSPAPER, NEW STATESMAN, PROSPECT, CHURCH TIMES AND SCOTSMAN*

The searing inside story of our broken politics from the former Cabinet minister and co-host of The Rest Is Politics.

Over the course of a decade, Rory Stewart went from being a political outsider to standing for prime minister – before being sacked from a Conservative Party that he had come to barely recognise.

Uncompromising, honest and darkly humorous, this is his story of the challenges, absurdities and realities of political life. Instantly praised as a new classic, it is an astonishing portrait of our turbulent times.

Kritikerstimmen

There’s no denying that Rory Stewart stands almost alone among British politicians: he’s one of a handful who can actually turn a phrase. That talent is put to good use here — no other account of how Cameron Toryism curdled into May and Johnson is likely to be as evocative or amusing as this one
If you want to better understand the catastrophe that has been our government since 2010, or you just want to bask in Stewart’s beautifully formulated prose, read this book
A brilliant insider’s account of the Cameron-May-Johnson years
It is the sheer sharpness, originality and truth-telling grace of Stewart’s prose, along with the vital importance of his subject, that makes his new book a truly exceptional political autobiography, both a pleasure to read, and a vital wake-up call
Full of sharp observations and often funny… a portrait of a country where power is wielded by empty careerists, working in a broken system
Beautifully written... You glimpse how transformative government could be (Gaby Hinsliff)
A fascinating account of power, corruption and lies
Stewart writes beautifully and is brilliant at describing both the theatre and insanity of life in politics
[Stewart’s] memoir of his time in politics is valuable as a slice of entertainment, as an enjoyably catty takedown of his former colleagues, and as perhaps the most helpful recent account of the failings of the British state… a valuable contribution to the historical record
The moral and technical seriousness of this book should not be ignored: in his time in parliamentary politics, Stewart discovered a lot that needs mending—and he has plenty of ideas for doing so

Very engaging, especially interesting to hear the stories from someone on the inside, having observed over the years

Brilliantly read

An honest, thoughtful, engaging and unique insight into the world of UK politics. A very easy and enjoyable listen. Would highly recommend!

Insightful and enthralling - a must for those interested in UK politics

interesting insights of an insider how disfunctional and incompetent politics in the UK has become. if you hear the portrait of boris from someone who probably knows, and you look at his popular appeal, and then think about the next US elections…
makes me think of the best cover of the economist a few years ago on italian elections with berlusconi and grillo getting most votes - “send in the clowns”

don’t bother to download rory’s latest audiobook, it is this book with a new title. poor show…to publish the same book twice with different titles.

insider account of the sorry state of politics

Lovely story writing albeit a hefty amount of gloomy realism was unavoidable when revealing the ins and outs of real UK politics.

Makes you realise that UK politics need a major reform… and more Rory Stewarts
