At the beginning of 2022, after eight years of political reporting in the US, Jon Sopel returned home to the UK – and having spent almost a third of his career abroad, he found a very different place to the one he left. In ‘Strangeland’, his first book since launching the global hit podcast The News Agents, he asks: What is the Britain he’s come home to?
From the first meeting of an elected English parliament on 20 January 1265 to the tabling of the Bill of Rights on 13 February 1689; from the Peterloo massacre of 16 August 1819 to Britain voting to leave the EU on 23 June 2016, there is a growing thirst for knowledge about the history of our constitutional settlement, our party system and how our parliamentary democracy has developed. Writing as an observer of political history, but also as someone with an opinion, acclaimed political broadcaster Iain Dale charts the main events of the last few hundred years, with one event per page, per day.
Has the West gone bust? Or is there another way? In this book, Robert Peston and Kishan Koria explain how the country is almost bust – economically, politically and socially. The economy is flatlining, society is fracturing, parliament is unfit for purpose, and the state is failing. They’ve got the shocking stories to prove it. But this is no counsel of despair. It’s a call to action. We can fix ourselves – by harnessing artificial intelligence, remaking our important institutions, and recognising that we can and must learn from the rest of the world.
The Sunday Times bestselling author of The Lost Rainforests of Britain reveals how landowners wreck the countryside, and how the public can restore it
Gabriel Gatehouse’s riveting book takes you down a rabbit hole to unpack an epochal shift in political culture that starts in the earliest years of the Clinton administration and reaches a crescendo on 6 January 2021 with the storming of the US Capitol. But that event wasn’t the wild finale of a chaotic Trump presidency many hoped for – it was only the beginning. A compelling mix of reportage and personal experience, ‘The Coming Storm’ gets under the skin of these conspiracy theories to show us a radical new kind of politics emerging, a movement that has coalesced around a loose alliance of white supremacists, men’s rights activists, tech bros, and radically disenchanted leftists. As we approach the 2024 US presidential election, and perhaps the most perilous moment in the history of American democracy, Gatehouse’s book tells us some dark truths about our present, and provides clues about our future.
