I never review books on here but had to review this one. I listened to the audiobook and never has a book made me want to laugh, cry, shout, feel so frustrated and helpless, but better informed all at once. The book details ten years in Tory power, yet manages to do so whilst using humour and comic timing in the reading of it throughout.

The Decade In Tory is a bravura performance. Substantial, meticulous, incredible, depressing, hilarious, rude – and essential reading. And if there was anything wrong or unjust in how Jones describes his many Tory targets (over half of Tory MPs who served in the years 2010 to 2020 are named in this litany of failure) I am sure they would come out to refute his claims... Have YOU donated to my crowdfunding appeal, raising funds to fight false libel claims by TV celebrities who should know better? These court cases cost a lot of money so every penny will help ensure that wealth doesn’t beat justice. It was reported chief whip Mark Spencer spends most of his days inventing dazzlingly clever new insults for his colleagues-

Johnson is understood to have stayed later than most.

You can probably tell that I'm very much part of the target audience. I remember much of what is covered from when it happened. I probably tutted at each individual scandal at the time. Reading about them now, one after the other, piled up next to each other, made me angry, exasperated and sad. Sad that we have been played by these incompetents for so long.Nigel Farage said Rishi Sunak’s plan to ban smoking for young people is “stupid” and government “should not get involved in these things”. Telegraph readers in today’s comments section are discussing whether Rishi Sunak was right to scrap the northern leg of HS2. After Kwarteng did his fiscal event all over our carpet, the pound plunged to the lowest level against the dollar that it has ever been since Alexander Hamilton stopped rapping long enough to invent it in 1776 Now, I know that this is not the same as building a line from scratch, but it is an indication of what used to be done in this country before the dead hand of non-productive bureaucracy took hold.” b.

Murdoch, who left long before midnight, sat on a sofa, according to one observer, and select people were brought to him. It was suggested the Chief Whip might not be very good, compared to the previous occupant of the role To put this into context, the previous guy was Gavin Williamson, a supernaturally incompetent lurching tower of wrong wearing the teeth of a starved horse Cuts to social care and welfare are not the only visible marks of the lost decade.

Having performed 4 cowardly U-turns during her own endless leadership campaign, Truss now seems to now think was is the key to her success In a further effort to wipe from our minds the endless squalor and scandal of the Johnson years, her new Chief of Staff features in an FBI bribery investigation, is employed by a lobbying firm and only “seconded” to Number 10, and seems to be using tax-avoiding measures Lebedev is to receive his letters patent from the Queen on 29 October. The Garter King of Arms will unveil his new title. A ceremony introducing Lebedev to the Lords can be expected soon after. During it, he will swear an oath of allegiance to the monarch while wearing a borrowed ermine robe. He told BBC Radio 4’s Today programme: “A quarter of our school leavers at the moment leave without basic numeracy and literacy, I don’t think that is right, so we are going to increase the funding for those pupils, particularly in FE colleges so they get the extra support they need to do English and maths after GCSEs to get those grades.
