'The funniest book about politics I have ever read' Alistair Campbell 'A joy to read but it is
also highly relevant to the contemporary culture' John Boyne 'Blending sharp satire with wit...
a comedic reflection on the divided world' The Scotsman 'The perfect read for anyone hooked on
politics and who enjoys good plot laced with humour' Sunday Express 'Hilarious...O'Farrell
knows his stuff and in an election year his wry take on British politics at its most febrile
is terrific value' Mail on Sunday _________________ All across Britain a generation of
grown-up children are graduating from university moving back in to their old bedrooms and
showing their gratitude by berating their parents for their out-of-date politics. All across
Britain a generation of grown-up children are graduating from university moving back in to
their old bedrooms and showing their gratitude by berating their parents for their out-of-date
politics. But for proud and high-profile left-wingers Emma and Eddie Hughes the return of
their only child is a far greater challenge than they ever could have anticipated. Young Dylan
had warned them there was something personal he needed to tell them but nothing could have
prepared his right-on parents for the shocking revelation he delivers. Their son is a
Conservative. From John O'Farrell author of the bestselling political satire Things Can Only
Get Better comes Family Politics an insightful sharply funny and and warm-hearted antidote
to our divided times. _________________ Praise for John O'Farrell 'Deft comic moments'

Johnson 'Razor sharp and warm-hearted' Sainsbury's Magazine 'He writes women so well. He writes
funny women even better' Angela Barnes 'More laugh-out-loud gags than the Tory Party has had

O'Farrell has these qualities in spades' Guardian 'If everyone read this book the country would
be a far better place. I laughed I cried I loved it' Jim Down
