  ‘’F *** ing brilliant. I would describe it as like a bag of political nuts – moreish and fabulously salty’ JOE LYCETT  
  A TIMES BOOK OF THE YEAR 
  Planes, Trains and Toilet Doors is an entertaining and original romp through the highs and lows of British political history and the unlikely locations that have decided our national fate. 
  Forget Westminster bust-ups and PMQs, some of the key events that have shaped modern British politics happened not in the cloisters of parliament or Downing Street’s many corridors of power, but in car parks, village halls and seaside resorts where the mundane have played host to the mighty. From Pitt the Younger’s Putney Heath duel to finding Margaret Thatcher a voice coach on a train, Harold Wilson’s ‘Scilly’ season holidays to John Major’s dental appointment clearing his path to No10 – these (and many more) are the places where chance meetings, untimely deaths and snap, sometimes daft, decisions changed the course of politics. 
  Matt Chorley has spent almost two decades covering Westminster, interviewing prime ministers, mocking ministers and chronicling the serious, and sometimes unintentionally absurd, events which act as unlikely turning points in the direction of a nation. Illustrated by award-winning political cartoonist Morten Morland, Planes, Trains and Toilet Doors combines Matt’s insider-knowledge, smart analysis and detailed research with his background in comedy to create an hilarious history of how politics actually happens. 
  Planes, Trains and Toilet Doors by Matt Chorley is a humorous and insightful commentary on the unexpected events and locations that have shaped Britain's political landscape. This non-fiction biography, which spans from the 21st century to the times of Pitt the Younger, is a top pick for anyone interested in the often absurd process of politics. 
  For fans of Rory Stewart (The Places In Between), David Kynaston (A Northern Wind), Chris Bryant (Code of Conduct), Tom Holland (Athelstan), and Wes Streeting (One Boy, Two Bills and a Fry Up).

  Decluttering Kitchen: The Essential Guide on How You Can Improve and Organize Your KitchenAside from being the place where you prepare food, studies show that people like to congregate and stay in the kitchen. The kitchen is one of the most used rooms in a household. Modernizing your kitchen can take one of two routes. The first route is less expensive but may take more time. It includes painting, wallpapering, and re-decorating to give your kitchen a modern facelift. The second route can be much quicker, but also much costlier. This route includes new appliances, new cupboards, or even a new layout. Your only limit is how much money and time you have to give. Choosing which way to go would primarily depend on how much money and time you have to give. A modern look is having the bare essentials or a minimalist approach to kitchens. Besides providing a new look, less clutter holds less dust, which requires less cleaning. Less small appliances and items on the cupboard make the room appear larger too. This audiobook will give you proven and useful tips and advice on how you will declutter your kitchen to look even cleaner and more organized. Get insights on how you can improve your kitchen whether you do minor or major renovations and decluttering. To learn more, get a copy of Decluttering Kitchen now!

  Women In Council

  In Women in Council, also known as The Assemblywomen, Aristophanes presents a sharp and satirical exploration of gender roles, politics, and social reform in ancient Athens. The play follows Praxagora, a bold and clever woman, who leads a plot to grant women control over the city-state by disguising them as men and infiltrating the Athenian assembly. Once in power, they implement a radical utopia based on shared wealth, communal living, and equal relationships between the sexes. However, the new order quickly reveals its absurdities and contradictions through comic misunderstandings, ironic reversals, and exaggerated scenarios. Blending biting satire with philosophical critique, Aristophanes challenges contemporary views on governance, justice, and human nature while mocking both the excesses of early socialist ideals and the failures of Athenian democracy. A provocative and humorous commentary on society’s enduring struggle with equality and authority.

  FUBAR - America's Right-Wing...

  The United States has survived clueless presidential administrations before. But no matter how enormous the crisis -- the Great Depression, Vietnam, Watergate, Monica Lewinsky's thong -- America's always come out looking like, well, America. 
  This time, however, something's different. Things aren't just screwed up; they're f&#!d up beyond all recognition. Welcome to F.U.B.A.R., a hilariously scathing satirical rundown of the Radical Right's takeover of America, by the creators of Air America's Majority Report. 
  If you're a liberal who's somehow not panicked over the state of our union, or if you're a Republican who's just having voter's remorse, or if you think what's happening to the country is just politics as usual, F.U.B.A.R. will open your eyes to our current national nightmare. With completely unfair and unbalanced analysis, authors Sam Seder and Stephen Sherrill take readers on a whirlwind tour of what's left of the United States, exposing the truth about the Right's blueprint for total domination -- over your money, your mind, your sex life, and even your place in the afterlife (yes, they have a plan for that, too). 
  Finally, Seder and Sherrill offer a helpful and hopeful vision for a future that remarkably doesn't look like a cross between the Matrix and Mayberry. F.U.B.A.R. is the wake-up call America has been waiting to receive -- and it will probably be wiretapped.
