Fuck The Tories

The perfect purchase for lefty-liberal wokey-snowflakes (or whatever the D**ly M**l is calling us nowadays), Fuck the Tories: An Activity Book is a part-fun, part-painful book of quizzes, word searches, crosswords and more centred around the Tories' record since 2010. It's also an outlet for rage. You'll find eye-popping rounds on voting records, money-wasting schemes, failed manifesto pledges and MP scandals (at the rate they're going, the whole book could have been this but we restrained ourselves), plus activities offering some much-needed light relief: a dot-to-dot of Liz Truss with some cheese, limericks about well-known Conservatives where you can choose the rhyming words, and a maze where you have to successfully get Dominic Cummings to Barnard Castle for his eye test. It's the only activity book which will entertain you while you burst a blood vessel. Make sure to post completed pages on social media with #fuckthetories to spread the word.

When David Cameron returned to Tory headquarters early on the morning of 8 May, he declared his sensational election victory to be 'the sweetest' moment of his political career. The Conservatives had won their first Commons majority for twenty-three years and the Prime Minister had achieved the seemingly impossible: increasing his popularity while in government, winning more seats than in 2010 and confounding almost every pundit and opinion poll in the process. Within hours, his defeated rivals Ed Miliband, Nick Clegg and Nigel Farage had all resigned, stunned and devastated by the brutality of their losses. Political journalist Tim Ross reveals the inside story of the election that shocked Britain. Based on interviews with key figures at the top of the Conservative Party, and with private access to Cabinet ministers, party leaders and their closest aides, this gripping account of the 2015 campaign uncovers the secret tactics the Tories used to such devastating effect.

The danger to British democracy in the interwar period came from a different source to that which has thus far been assumed. It came from a network of radical conservatives who challenged the political system and sought to replace it with an authoritarian corporate state. In this book, Bernhard Dietz provides the first systematic analysis of this network and its members, which are called Neo-Tories. With strong links to the European right, yet a minority back home, this group of British conservatives are all the more fascinating today because it is on their ultimate failure that the success of British democracy rested.

John Turner examines the way in which the issue of Europe has led to a schism within the Conservative Party, contributing to the party's election defeat in 1997, and how issues of sovereignty and federalism continue to preoccupy the party.
