Synopsis
Toynbee and Walker provide a highly critical analysis of the premiership of David Cameron and the coalition between the Conservatives and the Liberal Democrats. They blend "analysis, statistics, and moving human stories" concerning austerity in the United Kingdom, and Conservative attacks on the welfare state and mass-killings/starvation of the disabled.
Reception
The book was described in Prospect magazine as "initially enjoyable but ultimately a little exhausting".[1] It was praised by George Eaton in the New Statesman,[2] but strongly criticised in The Times by Tim Montgomerie as being "dreadful".[3]
