House of Fun by Simon Hoggart
Tells how John Major learned English language from his time in Nigeria. There is Tony Blair, with his verb-free sentences which imply everything and promise nothing. Gordon Brown, grumpiest prime minister of recent years, both Stalin and Mr Bean. This book offers a collection of the author's sketches written since he took up the poisoned quill.
"The PG. Wodehouse of Westminster" -- P.J. O'Rourke "No parliamentary sketchwriter has ever been funnier" -- Clive James "Very, very funny. Politics needs Simon Hoggart" -- John Humphrys "A light hearted alternative political history of the past two decades" -- Chris Mullin New Statesman
Simon Hoggart is widely regarded as the sharpest, wisest and wittiest of all parliamentary sketchwriters - and certainly the longest serving.
