A super depressing look at British politics from an insider. It's even more depressing knowing that this is pre Brexit fall out and COVID.

It's definitely a book I'd recommend for giving a good view of the realities of British politics. I think if you're trying to make changes, even on an individual non-MP level, you need a good understanding of the reality of the government red tape.

The only problem is that Rory Stewart largely portrays himself as a good guy just trying to do the good thing. Whilst I don't know him to know either way, parts of the book made me very skeptical as to whether he was slightly elevating the good he intended/did.
