Synopsis
As MP for Chester and a government whip, Gyles Brandreth had a ringside seat at Westminster from the fall of Margaret Thatcher to the election of Tony Blair. His frank and often funny diaries provide an insight into the workings of modern government, profiles of the key players, and the first-ever insider's account of the secret world of the Whips' Office. This updated edition continues the story to the arrival of David Cameron as Tory leader.

Review
By far the best political diary of recent years; far more perceptive and revealing than Alan Clark's. --Peter Riddell, The Times
Brandreth is the true Samuel Pepys of our day. --Andrew Neil, BBC Radio Five Live
Brandreth, for my money, offers about the most honest, and the most amusing, account of the demented, beery futility of the Tory-ruled Commons in the 1990s. --Boris Johnson, Daily Telegraph
Hilariously acute ... Irresistible. --Matthew d'Ancona, Sunday Telegraph
Extremely touching ... Brandreth emerges as a decent, amusing, talented and charming man. --Simon Heffer, Daily Mail
As a witty and insightful chronicler ... Brandreth is unsurpassed. --Michael Simmons, The Spectator
A serious contribution to history as well as funny and touching.Breaking the Code is how politics genuinely is. --The Times
As a witty and insightful chronicler ... Brandreth is unsurpassed. --Michael Simmons, The Spectator
