All in This Together: My Five Years as a Political Stalker

See all formats and editions

n this uproarious collection, Ann Treneman, the caustic and witty parliamentary sketch-writer for The Times, tells the true, unvarnished story of Britain???s first coalition government since the Second World War.

As well as the headline acts ??? David Cameron and his Flashman alter ego, Nick Clegg???s struggle to stop looking sad, Ed ???Two Kitchens???

Miliband???s heroic attempts to relaunch himself ??? she was there to see UKIP shed its fruitcakes, the Speaker be compared to a dwarf, and the Greens go surge-tastic.

With an eye for the absurd, an ear always attuned to the jargon junkies of politics, and a nose for what???s really going on underneath the talk, Ann Treneman chronicles the events that everyone in Parliament would much rather forget: the AV referendum; the chaos of the tuition-fee vote; the Omnishambles Budget; the train wreck that was Lords reform; the dramatic Syria vote; and, of course, the panic-stricken campaign over the Scottish Neverendum.

Floods, horsemeat, badgers and bile, it???s all here ??? a tragicomic coalition tale. ???Gorgeous George??? Osborne may have said ???we???re all in this together???, but now they really are ??? in this hilarious book.
