John Crace I, Maybot The Rise And Fall 2018 Faber Faber, Limited 2018

Synopsis

<p><b>NEW, FULLY UPDATED EDITION</b><br> <b><br> 'Brexit means Brexit.' 'Strong and stable.' 'I don't think I'm in the least robotic.'</b><br> <br> Ever since Theresa May first whirred into inaction as prime minister, there has only been one reliable source of strength and stability: John Crace's political sketches for the <i>Guardian</i>. These doses of biting satire not only provided much-needed respite from the madness of it all, but also gave us his now notorious moniker for our automaton PM, the Maybot.<br> <br> In <i>I, Maybot</i>, Crace introduces a curated selection of his most acerbic sketches, charting May's tumultuous premiership to date. From the EU referendum and ensuing tragicomic leadership campaign, to the snap election, Tory-DUP coalition of chaos and endless Brexit wranglings, Crace's analysis makes for essential and uproariously entertaining reading.</p>
