Full English Brexit
So says long-time Brexiteer British Parliamentarian, James Gray. Much of thisbook reflects aspects of his twenty-one years in Parliament - as a backbencher,defence and foreign affairs specialist, and fulfilling a variety of front bench jobswhile the Tories were in Opposition (as a Whip, Shadow Defence Minister,Shadow Minister for Rural Affairs, and Shadow Secretary of State for Scotland).In this groundbreaking book, he tries to lay out what he thinks - or perhapshopes - Britain will look like over the generations to come. He touches on almostevery aspect of British life - from defence and foreign affairs, to the countryside,universities and public services. He looks at Parliament, business and the economy,international trade; at overseas aid, security and law and order. Above allelse, Gray lays out his thoughts about the essential ethos of Britain and theBritish; and what we will therefore make of our EU-free future. It's a wide-ranging,readable, light-hearted and intensely personal stimulus to debate over whatthe future holds for Britain.
Who Takes Britain to War?
The long-standing parliamentary convention known as the 'Royal Prerogative' has always allowed Prime Ministers to take the country to war without any formal approval by Parliament. The dramatic vote against any military strike on Syria on 29 August 2013 blew that convention wide open, and risks hampering Great Britain's role as a force for good in the world in the future. Will MPs ever vote for war? Perhaps not – and this book proposes a radical solution to the resulting national emasculation. By writing the theory of a Just War (its causes, conduct and ending) into law, Parliament would allow the Prime Minister to act without hindrance, thanks not to a Royal Prerogative, but to a parliamentary one.

Fosse
Don't dance for the audience. Dance for yourself. The basis for a lavish new drama series from Hamilton creator Lin-Manuel Miranda, Fosse is the definitive book on one of Broadway's and Hollywood's most complex and dynamic icons. The only person ever to win Oscar, Emmy and Tony awards in the same year, Bob Fosse revolutionised almost every facet of American entertainment. A ground-breaking dancer, choreographer, and theatre and film director, his innumerable achievements include Cabaret, All That Jazz and Chicago, one of the longest-running Broadway musicals ever. Yet his offstage life was equally dramatic, marked by deep psychological wounds and insatiable appetites. In this richly detailed and beautifully written biography, Sam Wasson draws on a wealth of unpublished material and over 300 interviews with Fosse's family, friends, enemies, lovers and collaborators, many of them speaking publicly about Fosse for the first time. Fosse is a book bursting with energy and style, pleasure and pain - much like the man himself.
