📚 Finished reading Depraved New World by John Crace.

John Crace is a political sketch writer for the Guardian This book brings together much of his lacerating, hilarious-for-as-long-as-you-don’t-remember-it’s-true work from covering the past few years of British politics.

The timespan featured encompasses Partygate, the subsequent demise of PM Boris Johnson, the rise of Liz Truss, the immediate fall of Liz Truss and the start of the Rishi Sunak era. So basically the story of the past few years as played out by “the psychodrama of the Tory leadership contests”.

It’s not going to make you feel any better about the inept way that our country has been governed in recent times. But maybe it’ll give you a resigned, hollow, despairing laugh about it.
