I, Maybot: The Rise and Fall

£7.99

Throughout 2017 John Crace, the Guardian’s parliamentary sketch writer, has watched Prime Minister Theresa May’s efforts to remain strong and stable and, indeed, Prime Minister. He coined the term ‘Maybot’ for her malfunctioning public appearances. And now he tells the full story of Theresa May’s turbulent 2017 in the only fitting way he can – through the malfunctioning Maybot’s eyes. As waspishly hilarious as Craig Brown’s diaries in ‘Private Eye’, ‘The Maybot’ is essential and hysterically funny reading for anyone trying to make sense of our crazy political year.

Description

NEW, FULLY UPDATED EDITION

‘Brexit means Brexit.’ ‘Strong and stable.’ ‘I don’t think I’m in the least robotic.’

Ever since Theresa May first whirred into inaction as prime minister, there has only been one reliable source of strength and stability: John Crace’s political sketches for the Guardian. These doses of biting satire not only provided much-needed respite from the madness of it all, but also gave us his now notorious moniker for our automaton PM, the Maybot.

In I, Maybot, Crace introduces a curated selection of his most acerbic sketches, charting May’s tumultuous premiership to date. From the EU referendum and ensuing tragicomic leadership campaign, to the snap election, Tory-DUP coalition of chaos and endless Brexit wranglings, Crace’s analysis makes for essential and uproariously entertaining reading.
