Can you imagine a world where politics functioned, every politician told the truth, and the government cared about the electorate more than elections?
Although it feels like an impossible dream, it should be reality. With humour and candour Jess Phillips exposes what’s going wrong – and what we can do about it.


From culture wars to clickbait, it’s fair to say that politics has been reduced to electioneering, and we’re all suffering as a result. If it wasn’t destroying the country, it would almost be funny. But we have let our standards drop – and it’s time to raise our expectations and demand better.

Jess Phillips believes in democracy, and the people she meets give her cause for optimism even if many of the politicians really (really) don’t. At once a laugh-so-you-don’t-cry take down of the state of Westminster and a rallying battle cry for the power of politics, this book will make you angry, cheer you up, and give you hope.
Industry Reviews
There’s a reason why Phillips’s books end up on bestseller lists, and that is her lack of stuffiness, her sharp wit and don’t-fuck-with-me attitude. The writing here is conversational, irreverent and deceptively clever; it’s as if she and her reader are sharing a bottle of wine on a Friday night, leading to a level of candour that a more cautious politician might view as reckless but is very much Phillips’s USP.
