About this Event
In 2023, published an instant bestseller: . An excoriating analysis of dysfunctional institutions, incompetent ministers and disastrous policy-making, it anatomised the governing system from Downing Street and the Houses of Parliament to TV newsrooms, pressure-groups and the civil service.
Reviewers praised “A blistering account of the irrationality and sheer absurdity of Britain's dysfunctional political system” (Caroline Lucas); “an articulate wail of lament and a rousing call to arms” (Armando Iannucci); and “a brilliant, surgical book” (Isabel Hardman).
Three years later, Ian asks what has changed – and what is still going wrong. With a new Labour Prime Minister promising to fundamentally change where power lies in Britain, a fragmenting electorate and the rise of the Greens and Reform UK, how is Westminster working today – 10 years after the Brexit vote - and how can we build something better for the future?
