    Sam and Daisy have been best friends since university. Back then Daisy was a wild, Fleetwood Mac-obsessed girl descended from the Yorkshire Moors, while Sam’s youth was misspent traipsing around Liverpool on shopping trips and nights out. 
    But as they lean against each other on a wooden bench in the tired garden of their beloved local pub, gazing out at Sam’s wedding, they have no idea that their paths are about to truly diverge for the first time. 
    As Sam’s desire to become a mother consumes her, and Daisy’s inability to resist temptation haunts her, these best of friends will lose sight of themselves – and each other. With each misstep and unintentional betrayal the gulf widens. But can they build a bridge, or will they let it burn?

    In this riotous and tweezer-grabbing political satire, "Polite-Ticks" exposes the parasitic side of modern politics, where politicians and lobbyists act like blood-sucking ticks.

Packed with hilarious insights, sharp sarcasm, and a civil anarchy plan to take back control, this is your guide to spotting the polite ticks feeding on your future and finally giving them the boot, fire, and flush they deserve!
