SHORTLISTED FOR THE 2019 PARLIAMENTARY BOOK AWARDS THE SUNDAY TIMES
BEST SELLER 'Will ruffle some feathers.' Stylist 'There's nobody
else at Westminster quite like Jess Phillips. She is fearless and
funny, riotous and rebellious, maverick and mischievous.' The Times
'Jess Phillips is a heroine' J.K. Rowling 'Truth to Power treats
politics as what we need to remember it is: the solving of problems
in people's lives, which one attempts by coming up with a plan and
working with everyone. The purpose of the book is to show readers
how they can change things too. I've been at events where she's
been the surprise guest, and the audience jumped to their feet and
whooped like Chrissie Hynde had come on stage to play Brass in
Pocket, because someone like Jess Phillips in politics does a
powerful thing. It makes millions of women like her think, "If she
can do politics, maybe I could do politics too."' Caitlin Moran YOU
HAVE MORE POWER THAN YOU THINK. At a time when many of us feel the
world isn't listening, Jess Phillips offers inspiration to those of
us who want to speak out and make a difference. No stranger to
speaking truth to power herself, she will help you dig deep and get
organised, finding the courage and the tools you need to take
action. As well as bringing us hope through her own experiences
Jess talks to the accidental heroes who have been brave enough to
risk everything, become whistle-blowers and successfully fight
back. These inspiring people, often living everyday lives, who then
found themselves at the centre of the storm and spoke truth to
power include: Zelda Perkins, the personal assistant who first
called-out Harvey Weinstein; Paul Caruana Galizia, son of murdered
Maltese journalist Daphne Caruana Galizia; Tom Watson the British
MP who successfully took on the Murdoch press empire and won; Sara
Rowbotham, the sexual-health worker who uncovered the abuse of
young girls by gangs of Asian men in Rochdale - and the subsequent
cover-up by the authorities; Natasha Elcock, resident of Grenfell
Tower and chair of Grenfell United, the pressure group set up by
families after the disaster; Cara Sanquest from the campaign to
legalise women's right to choose abortion in Ireland. Entertaining,
empowering and uncompromising, TRUTH TO POWER is the book we all
need to help us call time on the seemingly unstoppable tide of
bullshit in our lives.
