Daniel Finkelstein is one of Britain's most widely read newspaper columnists, and this collection shows why. Drawn from years of writing for The Times, the pieces here range across an extraordinary breadth of subjects: predicting elections, the political science behind Ed Miliband's defeat, and why the base rate of coups meant Jeremy Corbyn was unlikely to be toppled before an election. Alongside the political analysis sit deeply personal essays, including moving reflections on growing up Jewish in Hendon Central and on the deaths of both of his parents. Finkelstein also turns to popular culture, weaving in reflections on Walt Disney, David Bowie, Muhammad Ali and the musical Hamilton, alongside arguments about football, assisted dying, and the art of becoming Prime Minister. The result is a rich, eclectic tour through modern politics and culture from a writer as comfortable discussing high politics as pop stars. Consistently wry, informed and often brilliantly funny, Finkelstein cuts through noise to get straight to the heart of the biggest conversations of our time. Reading this collection cover to cover, or dipping in at random, is a genuine pleasure: journalism written to last. For anyone who enjoys intelligent commentary delivered with a light touch and real heart, this is an essential addition to the booksh
