A witty, informative and highly entertaining book that demystifies Westminster jargon and makes politics accessible to everyone. With media coverage often so biased that it's hard to know what the truth is, author, Jonathan Maitland takes the refreshing, unfashionable option of telling it like it is. Join him as he trades insults with his local authority over the council tax, discovers what the Widdecombe rules are and meets, among others, ministers, John Humphreys and the bloke who sells newspapers outside his local tube station.
