Parliamentary sketch writer John Crace casts his sharp and acerbic eye over our current political chaos and governmental absurdity. Crace assesses whether the Labour government has provided any of the change the UK was expecting, looks at the erosion of the Tory party and the rise of Reform, and predicts what the future of our politics might be, in conversation with cross bench peer Rosie Boycott.
Crace’s newest book is a compilation of some of his much-loved Guardian columns. His other books include Taking the Lead: A Dog at Number 10, Depraved New World, Decline and Fail and I, Maybot.
