“I think the great thing about this book is that the two authors talked to virtually all of the living politicians who’ve taken part in PMQs. They talked to a lot of advisors and they were both advisors themselves to Tony Blair and Gordon Brown. So, they had an almost ringside seat. I think they bring out the trials and tribulations that politicians go through. I think what Ayesha and Tom also do really well in this book is bring out the rawness of PMQs and the fact that it isn’t necessarily just there for an outside audience. The performance of the party leader is designed to unite their troops and make them feel better about their own party. Now, it doesn’t always work, but it is the ultimate Punch and Judy politics. “ Read more...
