  • All the Wrong Moves

    £25.00

    We’re living in an age of deep political anger and frustration. Where did it come from, and how do we get out? Anthony Scaramucci’s electrifying answer – rooted in history, business, and first-hand experience – reveals the true origins of America’s current crisis, charting how both political parties made a series of catastrophic decisions that dismantled a post-war period of unprecedented stability and prosperity. Each decision deepened inequality, corroded trust, and fuelled the anger that empowered Donald Trump’s rise and his assault on democracy. The story Scaramucci tells is ‘money-point-of-view history’: it gallops from Wall St to Main St, from the boardroom to the Situation Room.

  • Sunak at 10

    From taking office amidst the cost of living and energy supply crises and the panic caused by Liz Truss’s disastrous mini-budget, through the agenda-dominating Ukraine and Gaza wars and the Rwanda Asylum Plan, to the stunning 2023 local election results, this book is the definitive and jaw-dropping window into Rishi Sunak’s premiership.

  • The Paranoid Style in American Politics

    £12.99

    This work is an unimprovable guide to the strange highways and byways of American life, written by Richard Hofstadter, the great American historian and intellectual. How is it that a country with such resources, so much space, with such a premium on education and written culture, can so quickly be reduced to a mere headless chicken by rumours, surreal conspiracy theories and the most brazen of conmen?The only hope offered by Hofstadter is that America has so often been assailed by such gusts of nonsense that we should by now be able to spot the manias, fabrications and the patently absurd rumours. There never has been a golden age of reasonably intelligent discourse. But, unfortunately, perhaps there never will be. In an era where we ourselves feel assailed by endless paranoid public statements it is comforting to read Hofstadter’s incisive refusal to see these as something new.

  • Occupational hazards

    £12.99

    From the #1 Sunday Times bestselling author of Politics on the Edge.
