About this audiobook

#1 SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER

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.

Sensational memoir, they're are many parts which send horrifying shivers down your spine at how broken the UK's political system is. What an incredible exposé of ten critical and bizzare years of British history.

Great book by a great guy. If Rory Stewart had won the leadership, there is a good chance I would be a Conservative member now, not a Labour member.
