Description

The first book from the team at the smash hit podcast The News Agents - a wild and witty review of the highs and lows of a year in politics. It's Emily. It's Jon. It's Lewis. And it's been quite a year. From the Tory Truss-le for power and non-stop strikes to Rishi's maths-for-the-nation, Lineker-gate, and when we all read about Prince Harry's todger, there has been no guessing what's coming next for the British public. But at least now we can make sense of it. From the hosts of the chart-topping Global podcast, Newsology is Emily, Jon, and Lewis's essential and opinionated guide to what on earth happened in the UK and around the world the past year. Packed with hot takes, off-mic reactions, behind-the-scenes anecdotes and stories of the eccentric personalities in the eye of the storm, Newsology gets under the skin of the news and helps you make sense of an increasingly senseless year. Being a news agent has never been more fun.
