Lively account of how people power has shaped British history -- from Peterloo to the Poll tax and beyond.
"Ian Hernon, a lobby correspondent, has for many years been keeping a diary of the most interesting events, issues, announcements and quotes, both offbeat and profound, that have caught his eye. In The Blair Decade he gives us his entries from January 1997 right up until Tony Blair's resignation on 27 June 2007." "The entries are short and pithy. They remind you of what really happened while New Labour was in charge: who was promoted, who fell from favour, who was beset by scandal. There is a vast cast of characters, from Blair to Bono, Major to Mandelson, Paisley to Putin, Currie to Rice. The book also contains an introduction and conclusion, and is a reminder of how much has changed." --Book Jacket.

Some people enter politics because they want to make the world a better place. Then there are those with welldeserved inferiority complexes who want status, power and position. Few believe me, but I entered the House of Commons purely by accident.' High virtue in high office? Not a chance, says Jerry Hayes. No staid autobiography or dry political memoir, An Unexpected MP takes you on a raucous and salacious romp through Westminster, the media and public life. In this no-holds-barred exposé, Jerry Hayes shows exactly why people were so surprised when he became an MP - from the duty policeman who told him to bugger off when he rolled up on his first day, to the Iron Lady herself, who looked with a steely eye on his cheerful chutzpah. And, as the perfect antidote to the holier-than-thou, whiter-than-white ways of the current crop of politicos, the shameless - and shamelessly entertaining - Hayes makes a brilliant tour guide to the strange country that is Parliament, taking gleeful swipes at left and right alike. Full of tall tales of unspeakable debauchery on a tsunami of alcohol, An Unexpected MP is a thundering account of the offbeat lunacy of Westminster and Fleet Street.
It's show-and-tell time at Olivia's school and she's telling her class about the time she went to the circus and all the performers were sick... so Olivia had to do everything. She tamed the lions, balanced on stilts, juggled and even played the clown. 'Was that true?' Olivia's teacher asks. 'Quite true,' says Olivia. 'Are you sure Olivia?' 'To the best of my recollection,' she says.
