It includes eleven new columns and three new prime ministers. The book is a welcome blast of humour and sanity in a world where reality has become stranger than fiction. Hyde revisits every moment of magic, from David Cameron to Theresa May to Boris Johnson to Rishi Sunak, and includes a cast of characters including Hollywood sex offenders, populists, sporting heroes, media barons, reality TV monsters, police officers, wicked advisers, philanthropists, fauxlanthropists, frostbitten princes, and Gwyneth Paltrow. The book is a joyous rallying voice in British journalism and is more than a gentle poke in the ribs, but also a well-wrought and deftly aimed smash in the teeth. \u003c\/blockquote\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat\u003c\/strong\u003e: Paperback \/ softback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLength\u003c\/strong\u003e: 528 pages\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublication date\u003c\/strong\u003e: 01 June 2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher\u003c\/strong\u003e: Guardian Faber Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch1\u003eTHE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER\u003c\/h1\u003e \u003ch1\u003eFrom the co-host of the hilarious new podcast with Richard Osman, The Rest is Entertainment\u003c\/h1\u003e \u003ch1\u003eNow includes ELEVEN new columns and a whole THREE new prime ministers.\u003c\/h1\u003e \u003ch1\u003eRelive the delusional fever-dream of the modern era.\u003c\/h1\u003e \u003ch1\u003eThank f*ck for Marina Hyde: the most lethal,vital,screamingly funny truth-teller of our time.\u003c\/h1\u003e \u003ch1\u003ePHOEBE WALLER-BRIDGE\u003c\/h1\u003e \u003ch1\u003eThe most brilliantly funny columnist of our time.\u003c\/h1\u003e \u003ch1\u003eGARY LINEKER\u003c\/h1\u003e \u003ch1\u003eIt's a scientific FACT: Marina Hyde is Britain's funniest writer.\u003c\/h1\u003e \u003ch1\u003eCAITLIN MORAN\u003c\/h1\u003e \u003ch1\u003eDrawn from her spectacularly funny Guardian columns, What Just Happened?! \u003c\/h1\u003e \u003ch1\u003eis a welcome blast of humour and sanity in a world where reality has become stranger than fiction.\u003c\/h1\u003e \u003ch1\u003eJoin Hyde as she revisits every moment of magic,\u003c\/h1\u003e \u003ch1\u003efrom David Cameron to Theresa May to Boris Johnson to Rishi Sunak.\u003c\/h1\u003e \u003ch1\u003eDid we miss anyone?
