AS FEATURED IN WATERSTONES BEST BOOKS OF 2023

From bestselling author and beloved Guardian columnist John Crace comes a blisteringly hilarious tour through the whirlwind of post-Brexit Britain, from the ousting of Boris to the dawn of a new era . . . sort of.

O brave new world, that has such people in't. Or not. William Shakespeare clearly had never imagined a clusterf*ck on this scale. Given the state of the country right now, he would be in need of a long lie down.


Another month, another prime minister - how many have we been through now? But fear not: despite all the nonsense that has spewed forth from Westminster over the past two years, John Crace's brilliantly lacerating political sketches have provided the nation with some desperately needed relief.

Taking in everything from Partygate, BoJo's drawn-out farewell and the disastrous reign of Liz Truss, to the psychodrama of the Tory leadership contest(s), the return of Rishi Sunak and the shenanigans of his impressively inept colleagues, Depraved New World is a worryingly funny collection which captures British politics at its most absurd.

    As a collection they read like a seamless commentary, excellently written and very witty.

    Excellent book. As ever John is wonderfully amusing and insightful on the current state of politics. I read the book very quickly which is unusual for me. It turns the page very well.

    ultimately = very tedious reading

    Posted by Geoff Caldwell on 15th Jan 2024

    much as I approve of slagging off Boris, to have to endure this process for 342 pages is way too much

    Outstanding book, but at times to painful and too recent to be funny.

    I look forward to John’s daily feature in the Guardian with its piercing comments on the present state of politicians. Having them all together in one book is great
