Description
Things Can Only Get Better by John O'Farrell is a personal account of surviving eighteen years of Conservative government as a Labour supporter. The author recounts his experiences, from helping the party lose elections to working for a shadow cabinet minister, with a mix of humor and heartbreak. As he navigates the ups and downs of politics, the author comes to realize that some things are just not meant to be - like Michael Foot becoming Prime Minister or face painting stopping the nuclear arms race. Along the way, he also discovers the importance of food, particularly the difference between vegetable quiche and chicken tikki masala. This book is a candid and entertaining look at one man's journey through the tumultuous years of British politics in the 1980s.
