As we reach a seemingly rather heated moment in the modern British politics, the question of where it all started is on the public’s lips (and hopefully in their minds when they are buying Christmas presents). Not only this, but it’s also on the lips of the press, as we have received yet another review for 22 Days In May by David Laws (not that the press aren’t part of the public, but they get their books for free, so they don’t count).
David Runciman has reviewed the Biteback title in the recent issue of The London Review of Books, which, we’re not going to lie, we’re pretty excited about.
22 Days In May: The birth of the Lib Dem-Conservative coalition is kind of explained by its concise sub-title, but the detail is infinitely more interesting. David Laws is currently the Lib Dem MP for Yeovil, but was briefly Chief Secretary to the Treasury after fulfilling his role as one of the key members of his party’s negotiating team in May. His book recounts the events, including all the fascinating occurrences and challenges faced, in the talks with members of both the Labour and Conservative parties that gave the public its coalition government of today.
