Let's Be Honest: Signed Edition (Hardback)

Can you imagine a world where politics functioned, every politician told the truth and the government cared about the electorate more than elections?

Although it feels like an impossible dream, it should be reality. With humour and candour Jess Phillips exposes what’s going wrong – and what we can do about it.

From culture wars to clickbait, it’s fair to say that politics has lost some of its integrity, and we’ve all suffered as a result. If it hadn’t almost wrecked the country with calamitous consequences in almost every sector of public life, it would almost be funny. But we let our standards drop – and we deserve better.

Jess Phillips believes in democracy, and the people she meets give her cause for optimism even if sometimes politicians really (really) don’t. At once a laugh-so-you-don’t-cry take down of what’s gone wrong and a rallying battle cry for bringing truth back to politics, this book will make you angry, cheer you up, and give you hope.
