looking, your four-legged friend is busy knocking them back. This

The Sunday Times bestseller 'Substantial, meticulous, depressing,
hilarious, rude ... like flipping through a grotesque highlights
album of the country's downfall' Dominic Minghella 'A wickedly
funny, furious, fast-paced romp through a decade of governmental
failures' Rosie Holt 'Buy it for relatives who read the Daily Mail.
It might work as an antidote'Jemma ForteIn 2020 the United Kingdom
reached a bewildering milestone: ten successive years of
Conservative rule. In that decade there were three prime ministers,
each in turn described as the worst leader we ever had; ministerial
resignations by the hundred; and an unrelenting stream of
ineffectual, divisive bum-slurry oozing from 10 Downing Street. The
Decade in Tory is an inglorious, rollicking and entirely true
account of ten years of demonstrable lies, relentless incompetence,
epic waste, serial corruption, official police investigations,
anti-democratic practices, abuse of power, dereliction of duty and
hundreds of thousands of avoidable deaths. With his signature
scathing wit, Russell Jones breaks down the government's
interminable failures year by year, covering everything from David
Cameron's pledge to tackle inequality - which reduced UK life
expectancy for the first time since 1841 - through the bewildering
storm of lies and betrayals that led to Brexit, devastating
education cuts, serial mismanagement of the NHS and Boris Johnson's
calamitous response to the Covid-19 pandemic. It will leave you
gasping and wondering: can things possibly get any worse?
For anyone who loved St Trinian's - old or new - or loves a cozy

spell trouble for everyone at St Bride's . . . No one can believe
it when the headmistress, Hairnet, instantly accepts the stranger's
claim, not: the put-upon Bursar, ousted from his cosy estate
cottage by the stranger the enigmatic Max Security, raring to
engage in a spot of espionage the sensible Judith Gosling, who
knows more about Lord Bunting than she's letting on the
irrepressible Gemma Lamb, determined to keep the school open Only
fickle maths teacher Oriana Bliss isn't suspicious of the stranger,
after all she can just marry him and secure St Bride's future
forever. That's if inventive pranks by the girls - and the school
cat - don't drive him away first. Who will nab the stranger first?
Oriana with the parson's noose? Gemma with sinister secrets? Or
could this be the end of St Bride's? Previously published by Debbie
Young as Stranger at St Bride's.
