Conservative by tradition, thrown out by Johnson after serving valiantly as MP for Cumbria and in many Ministeries, Stewart's political memoirs are eye-opening on how government works – or rather, as he illustrates here, does NOT work. Here we have a truly useful politician, genuinely believing in public service and in getting on with doing the job in hand, up against the self-seeking, power-hungry mediocrities governing the country. He writes brilliantly and is often very funny but OHHHH.....poor country!
