Description
The Adventures of Herbert Hound is the tale of a picaresque journey. Starting out when a chance encounter with Sadiq Khan's labrador landed him a job working as a special advisor to Ed Miliband in 2014. Then summoned by David Cameron to work on the Remain campaign in the EU referendum. The pain of working with Theresa May. Sacked and then rehired by Boris Johnson to advise on Covid. At Balmoral when the Queen died. A ringside seat for Liz Truss. Fired by Rishi Sunak and then latterly taken on by Keir Starmer. Who knows He might even end up on the winning side this time.
This is the story the politicians didn't want you to know. What are Larry the Cat and Dilyn the Dog really like How did Charlotte Owen get a peerage Herbert Hound tells all.Author Bio
