Synopsis
Turning down MI6 because he was gay, chastised by Margaret Thatcher for jumping into the Thames to save a dog - Matthew Parris was never destined for high office. Instead his years as a backbench Tory MP and columnist have left him uniquely placed to observe the foibles of Westminster. His witty memoir has now been expanded to cover the financial crisis and the fall of Labour.

About the Author
Matthew Parris was born in Johannesburg in 1949. For seven years a Conservative MP, he quit to present LWT's Weekend World, after which he became a regular parliamentary sketchwriter for The Times. His books include READ MY LIPS, SCORN WITH ADDED VITRIOL, and INCA-KOLA, about his travels in Peru. He has also made a number of television documentaries, including most recently an account of his sojourn on a remote sub-Antarctic island.
Review
Shockingly Candid * Observer * Of interest to students and lovers of politics alike, and indeed to anyone who is interested in the history of the last quarter of a century. Parris is a skilful entertainer, who informs as well as amuses -- Peter Bottomley * Literary Review * Whimsy, polemic, irony, humour . . . a scintillating read -- Boris Johnson * Sunday Telegraph * The perfect autobiographer * Spectator * Brilliant, deliciously entertaining. I laughed a lot * Observer *
