Labour's simplemindedness will be its downfall - and ours. You can't build and bulldoze your way out of the housing crisis. Unless you also change the system, you'll still leave millions without decent homes. My column today explains why.

Only halfway through said book, but can definitely say it is not shit, far from it, in fact.
I would describe it as a view of contemporary politics with a twinge of Terry Pratchett social commentary and humour backed into the mix. Educational and funny.
It's definitely worth every penny.
