I’ll kick us off with a few of my favourites.
Things Can Only Get Worse? - John O’ Farrell
The story of twenty confusing years as a member of the Labour party. From the pre-Blair years through to the Corbyn. An absolutely fascinating read for someone like me who’s both a member of the party and someone who’s interested in leftist politics and British political history.
The Social Distance Between Us - Darren Mcgarvey
Great read if you’re looking to get angry about the state of the UK. Doesn’t pull any punches and isn’t afraid to get it’s hands dirty.
Impeachment - Jon Meacham
I’m really into US Presidential history. This book covers the Johnson, Nixon and Clinton impeachments, and explains why they were bought, the narrative around the cases and why they reached the conclusion they did. This is genuinely one of my favourite books going.
I’m not very good with political books. I tried reading one about Donald Trump but I became bored of it. I think it was the way in which the book was written didn’t agree with me.
The only other one I recall is A Decade In Tory which is really interesting because they’ve fucked everything up over the last thirteen years and that’s why I had to stop reading, it was too depressing. They ruin everything they touch!
