Book description
Throughout the ages and across the political spectrum, there's
always been a place for the dishonourable insult. It doesn't take much
for the civilised veneer to crack and a wealth of spleen, invective
and innuendo to pour forth. It may not change the course of history,
but being skewered in public has sounded the death knell of many a
stellar career. In these pages you can revel in more than one hundred
years of political venom. From Churchill to Cameron, Balfour to Brown,
Curzon to Clegg, Douglas Home to Duncan Smith, Healey to Howard,
Macaulay to Milliband, Greg Knight has once again compiled a witty
collection of barbes that will provide amusement and a delightful
source of reference for anyone searching for the ultimate put-down.
Greg Knight, Member of Parliament for East Yorkshire. He is the
author of Honourable Insults and Parliamentary Sauce.
