Description

Gyles Brandreth's gloriously indiscreet political diaries revealed for the first time the secret world of the Government Whips' Office and its struggles to control a party riven by factionalism and in-fighting. Now, as history looks set to repeat itself, comes the definitive edition of this widely acclaimed classic, featuring a revealing new foreword from the author. With candid descriptions of the key figures of the era, from the leading players to the ministers who fell from grace Breaking the Code paints an extraordinary portrait of Whitehall and Westminster in our time - warts and all. Brought bang up-to-date with a brand new foreword by the author, a new edition of these best-loved political diaries.
