Synopsis
“He will join Alan Clark in the pantheon of truly great diarists” – Matthew d’Ancona, Evening Standard
***
‘The Queen was at the next table. I caught her staring at me during the national anthem and half-wondered whether someone had pointed me out as the author of that incident which the Mail on Sunday had splashed all over the front page of its review section, about which she would not have been too pleased.’
No longer in the tent, but not quite out of it, celebrated diarist Chris Mullin gives his take on the twelve turbulent years since he left Parliament. With his trademark wit and keen eye for the absurd, he recounts events from the fall of New Labour to the death of the Queen. Rich in anecdote, this candid new volume includes encounters with movers and shakers from all political parties and with citizens from all walks of life, from dustmen to dukes.
“One of Mullin’s charms is his readiness to like people who don’t echo his politics.” – Jenni Russell, Sunday Times

Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. The latest volume of diaries from the bestselling author of A View from the Foothills, A Walk-On Part and Decline and Fall. When I retired from Parliament in April 2010, I ceased keeping a diary, on the assumption that life would no longer be of sufficient interest to justify doing so. It soon became apparent that I was wrong and so before long I resumed. As readers of the previous volume may recall, my decision to retire was accompanied by a great deal of angst. I always knew there was a life outside politics, but I wasn't confident that there would be any demand for my services. As I wrote at the time, leaving earlier than I need have done was either the best or the worst decision of my life. I wasn't sure which. As it happens it has turned out well. This past decade has seen some of the best years of my life. I am under no illusion, however. Despite the occasional moment in the sunshine, I have never been much more than a fleabite on the body politic. On a visit to Parliament a couple of years after retiring, I came across a former colleague. He peered at me over the top of his glasses and said, 'Didn't you use to be Chris Mullin?' 'Thank you,' I replied. 'That will be the title of Volume 4.' No longer in the tent, but not quite out of it, celebrated diarist Chris Mullin gives his take on the twelve turbulent years since he left Parliament. With his trademark wit and keen eye for the absurd, he recounts events from the fall of New Labour to the death of the Queen.
