âThis book is here to take you inside the daily realities of Westminster. I donât mean that itâs going to bore you to death with a blow by blow account of what itâs like to sit on the Statutory Instrument Debate on Naval regulations 1968-2020 â but to demystify the places and practice of politics.â
From agonising decisions on foreign air strikes to making headlines about orgasms, from sitting in on history-making moments at the UN to eating McCain potato smiles at a black-tie banquet in China, the life of a politician is never dull. And itâs also never been more important. But politics is far bigger than Westminster, and in this book Jess Phillips makes the compelling case for why now, more than ever, we all need to be a part of it.
With trademark humour and honesty, Jess Phillips lifts the lid on what a career in politics is really like and why it matters â to all of us. This is the inside story of whatâs really going on.
