Relazione

There's no denying that Rory Stewart stands almost alone among British politicians: he's one of a handful who can actually turn a phrase. That talent is put to good use here - no other account of how Cameron Toryism curdled into May and Johnson is likely to be as evocative or amusing as this one The Times, *The Times Political Book of the Year*
