The sequel nobody wants. After a decade of the Tories, could it get any worse? Spoiler – it does.

Towards the end of 2021, Britain had been frogmarched into an escalating series of surreal calamities. Brexit was a disaster, the NHS was in crisis, the government was bathed head-to-toe in impropriety, senior Tories were still acting as though the public purse was their personal feed-trough, and the air crackled with anger about PartyGate. All of which led to an inglorious start to 2022: the year the UK saw two monarchs, three prime ministers and four chancellors.

From Boris Johnson, who crashed our international reputation and handed billions to his mates so they could ineptly fight a pandemic while he stayed at home, shagging and acting as a super-spreader; to Liz Truss, a drive-by prime minister who managed to kill off the queen and crash the economy in a single week. And now we’re led by Rishi Sunak, who doesn’t know how to use a credit card, drives a pretend car, and grinningly promises even more poverty.

Four Chancellors and a Funeral delivers more of Russell Jones’s signature scathing wit, combining a detailed historical record of 2021 and 2022, with acerbic commentary, all of it leavened by jokes at the seemingly endless maelstrom of failures, nincompoops and hypocrisies.©2024 Russell Jones (P)2024 W.F.

this book, and the one before it by the same author, is superb. it's an important historical record which ought to be required reading for anyone who wants to understand contemporary political history, and it also, regularly laugh-out-loud funny.

excellent book

Beautiful written and a delight to listen to. The chronology approach of the authors writing brought home to me how bad this government was, how depraved and self centred their approach had been. I was left slightly embarrassed that I hadn’t done more to stop them or call them out for the charlatan’s they were.

Educational informative funny, god knows we need it now.

A very astute piece of work and informative read . A decent measure of acerbic humour. Really enjoyed and will be using the anagrams and eye watering statistics

Everyone should read , tells it like it really is

Interesting take on the government post 2010 and Brexit in particular. Well written and very funny presentation of the facts. Probably wouldn’t want to read if you were a Boris or Liz supporter as can be a bit rude.

Brexit laid bare
