Hi, I was wondering if you've read 'The Blairs And Their Court' by Francis Beckett and David Hencke? And if so would you recommend it? It looks a bit dramatic and interesting but that's what I thought when I first saw Paul Routledge's 'Mandy' and that wasn't great, so I don't entirely trust my own judgement.
I haven’t read it, mostly because I read the Roy Hattersley review and it was literally ‘this book is so bad it turned me into a Blairite’ (“even Macbeth had his redeeming features”). It’s also notoriously inaccurate. I know the blurb is tempting bc it describes Cherie as ‘the real brains in the partnership’ but tbh I prefer to indulge my crush with any of Anthony Seldon’s million Blair biographies
