Review

'An entertaining romp.' Ian Birrell (David Cameron's speech writer), Observer; '[An] excellent and timely history of the decline of the old party system.' Nick Cohen, Spectator; 'Newark's pacey, racy gossip about political murky doings frequently made me chortle and also cleared up a few mysteries... This book is a treat: a political book which is the antidote to politics, You'll love it.' The Northern Echo; 'Charts the success of protest parties in modern times.' Grimsby Telegraph; 'Amusing, behind-the-scenes insight into why voters are fed up with the main political parties.' Ann Mallalieu Countryside Alliance; 'Brilliant and witty.' Andrew Roberts
