What happens if Scotland and the UK part company? Or a Prime Minister tells the truth, when the cabinet expect her to spin a good yarn? And the army is fatally weakened and there is war in Europe? What happens when infrastructure fails, costing lives of thousands of London’s citizens?
This fantasy of a possible future explores the delicate balance between political management, and facing up to unattractive solutions. Will we listen to, or even believe, the ‘truth’ when we hear it? Will politicians always put party and personal ambition before the interests of those they serve? A PM wrestles with her conscience in a witty and surprising dialogue with a trusted speech writer.
