John Crace: How Does This Government Thing Work?

Expect satire, sarcasm and savage wit from The Guardian’s political diarist and columnist, John Crace. Across fourteen years of Tory rule, he has seen it all: a bucket-load of sleaze and scandals, myriad questionable policy decisions, and an ever-revolving door of (un)impressive candidates trying to get themselves to the top of a sinking ship. But it doesn’t stop in July 2024: Keir Starmer and Rachel Reeves and the Labour Party have had a distinctly bumpy start, whilst Kemi Badenoch and the Tories have slunk off to regroup in opposition. Has the United Kingdom’s political landscape changed once and for all?
