"When I retired from Parliament in April 2010, I ceased keeping a
diary, on the assumption that life would no longer be of sufficient
interest to justify doing so. It soon became apparent that I was
wrong... I am under no illusion, however. Despite the occasional
moment in the sunshine, I have never been much more than a fleabite
on the body politic. On a visit to Parliament a couple of years
after retiring, I came across a former colleague. He peered at me
over the top of his glasses and said, 'Didn't you use to be Chris
Mullin?'" Picking up where he left off in 2010's Decline and Fall,
celebrated diarist Chris Mullin returns with his trademark
irreverence and keen eye for the absurd to chronicle the turbulent
last decade of the second Elizabethan era. Didn't You Use to Be
Chris Mullin? charts the collapse of New Labour, the long years of
austerity politics, the highs and lows of Brexit, the rise and fall
of Jeremy Corbyn and no fewer than four Tory Prime Ministers,
culminating in the death of the Queen. Wise, witty and deeply
perceptive, Mullin paints a vivid portrait of our recent political
history.
