## Description

The searing inside story of our broken politics from the former Cabinet minister and co-host of The Rest Is Politics . ‘The most exceptional political memoir I’ve ever read’ ALAN JOHNSON ‘An instant classic’ MARINA HYDE ‘At last a politician who can write’ SEBASTIAN FAULKS 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.
