John Crace: Taking the Lead

From quick witted John Crace comes a satirical memoir from the eyes of his beloved dog, Herbie and as a Westminster veteran, boy does he have some stories to share.

It all started when a chance encounter with Sadiq Khan’s Labrador landed Herbie a job working as a special advisor to Ed Miliband in 2014. Then he was summoned by David Cameron to work on the remain campaign in the EU referendum, he experienced the pain of working with Theresa May, was sacked, rehired by Boris Johnson to advise on Covid, was at Balmoral when the Queen died, had a ringside seat for Liz Truss, was fired by Rishi and then latterly taken on by Keir Starmer.

This is the story the politicians didn’t want you to know. What are Larry the cat and Dilyn the dog really like? How did Charlotte Owen get a peerage? Herbert Hound, finally, tells all.
