"Disability allowance. Corporation tax. David Cameron's writing shed. The Alt right. The Single Market. Snap elections. Theresa May's chips. GBP350 million to the EU. Boris fucking Johnson. These are the political hot potatoes of our time and I'm just the guy trying to the juggle them in front of a TV camera ... In Political Hot Potatoes I'll take you on a journey through the modern history of the shit-storm that is contemporary politics, focussing on the bastards that play the game: May, Trump, Corbyn, Blair, Hitler, The Queen, Clinton, Boris Fucking Johnson. Always wondered what they really mean by Strong and Stable? Or how being opposed to something can sometimes get you labelled a Nazi? Just who is Tim Farron and why does he always look so apologetic? And what the ACTUAL FUCK is a 'snowflake'? With a few off-screen rants, some random political scribblings and a political A to Z to boot, my book sticks the thermometer up the bum of contemporary politics and asks the questions other television reporters are afraid to ask."--Publisher's description.
