The United Kingdom experienced a remarkable milestone in 2020, marking a decade of consecutive Conservative rule. During this period, the country witnessed three prime ministers, each labeled as the worst leader in history. Ministerial resignations reached an alarming rate, and a steady stream of ineffective and divisive policies emanated from 10 Downing Street. This decade is an unmitigated tale of dishonesty, incompetence, wastefulness, corruption, police investigations, anti-democratic practices, power abuse, dereliction of duty, and countless preventable deaths.

In his signature acerbic style, Russell Jones meticulously dissects the government's persistent failures year after year, encompassing a wide range of topics. From David Cameron's promise to address inequality, which resulted in a decline in UK life expectancy for the first time since 1841, to the bewildering storm of lies and betrayals that led to Brexit, devastating education cuts, serial mismanagement of the NHS, and Boris Johnson's catastrophic response to the COVID-19 pandemic. The book will leave readers gasping in disbelief, questioning whether things can possibly worsen any further.
