What They're Saying

Critics Review

‘Witty, wry and incredibly touching – a unique insight into the personalities behind the politics.’ Santa Montefiore

‘Moving and heartfelt – what a journey. I’m amazed she’s still standing.’ Imogen Edwards-Jones

‘I take it all back; she’s fabulous. Nobody in Westminster can afford not to buy this book.’ Rachel Johnson

‘Sarah Vine is the Bridget Jones of politics.’ Plum Sykes

‘Exceptionally clever. An excellent writer. Insanely fast. And very very brave. In the tumultuous last 18 months Sarah Vine has become the beating heart of the Mail – the columnist readers turn to first to make sense of it all – and now, for the fourth time in five years, Tabloid Columnist of the Year, the only writer ever to win it so many times. What she provides is a masterclass in writing tabloid columns.’ The Press Awards 2024, Tabloid Columnist of the Year Award
