Random House presents the audiobook edition of Things Can Only Get Worse?: Twenty confusing years in the life of a Labour supporter written and read by John O'Farrell.

'…as the Labour candidate I prepared for every possible question on the local radio Election Phone-In. What I had not prepared for was my mum ringing up to say that she agreed with John O’Farrell. On EVERYTHING.'

Things Can Only Get Worse is the personal story of one political activist helping Labour progress from its 1997 landslide to the unassailable position it enjoys today.
Along the way, he stood for Parliament against Theresa May but failed to step into her shoes; he was dropped from Tony and Cherie’s Christmas card list after he revealed he always sent their card on to a friend from the SWP; and he campaigned for a new non-selective inner-city state school, then realised this meant he had to send his kids to a non-selective inner-city state school.

The long-awaited sequel to the best-selling Things Can Only Get Better is for everyone who could use a good laugh after Brexit, Boris and Trump. A roller-coaster ride through the last two decades via the very best political jokes (excluding the ones that keep getting elected).

Eleştirmen yorumları

Hilarious, insightful and has that rare quality of making politics fun. A brilliant book everyone should read, whoever you vote for. (Owen Jones, author of The Establishment)
Even Conservatives will like this (Roland White)
Reading this book is like reliving the last twenty years as a Labour supporter. John O’Farrell has, in his own unique and hilarious way, captured the highs and lows, pride and embarrassment, joy and frustration of being Labour. (Sadiq Khan, Mayor of London)
O’Farrell hasn’t lost his touch. There are laughs as well as large doses of common sense. (Chris Mullin)
John O'Farrell couldn't be unfunny if he tried but this book is even better than his famous take on Labour's 18 years in opposition. Hilarious and insightful in equal measure this is vintage stuff from Maidenhead's finest political brain. (Alan Johnson)
A glimpse at the quirky, inner workings of the British political system written by someone who seems too funny, too kind and too bloody sensible to ever seriously consider a career in politics. (Jo Brand)
Hugely enjoyable, timely and funny. Given that it's about politics, this is an impressively sane book. Hooray for John O' Farrell. (Robert Webb)

The only weakness with this book is that it wasn't 4 times longer.

Wonderful, witty, anacdotes that I could really relate to.

Brilliant book

Almost frightening in its succinct and wry progression from post Thatcherite optimism to what did we think we were doing? A refreshing lack of self justification. You tried, John, you tried.

I loved this book from start to finish, funny and st times depressing as it reminded me of Labour's failures over last 2 decades !

You know how you sometimes feel bereft when you finish a good book because you want there to be more of it. Well, that’s how I feel with this one.
I didn’t actually know much about it before I listened but I come away wanting to be friends with John O’Farrell. There was so much in this that resonated with my soul. It is good to know there are people out there who have the same values, who feel the same grief at so much of what has happened, who believe so strongly in good education. Please, John, be my friend? I need more of this!

Totally loved this!

John O’Farrell sums up my feelings nearly exactly. His world view matches mine. I found this book really heartening - his relentless optimism in the face of the frightening centripetal force that is now threatening parts of the West has given me hope. I like this book a lot. I’m going to be buying it for many friends and family members as a reminder of when the country looked outwards instead of in.
