‘But what has politics got to do with me?’ I hear you ask. Well, quite a lot really. Whether you like it or not, it affects every single thing in your life from the moment you wake up in the morning until you crawl into bed at night.

But some of our political elite make it feel like a club which we have not been invited to join. The privileged few who want to keep it all for the privileged few. I hope this book can explain much, make you laugh out loud and make you realise that together our voices are powerful.
Buckle up and come on a political rollercoaster with me – ‘an old bird with an iPhone’.

This is a book for people who don’t normally think about politics. We have a new government and have bid a loud goodbye to the Tories, but the issues that allowed the last government to mismanage and deceive us for so long lie deep. Amidst a landscape of economic turmoil and deepening societal fractures, we need to see a new age of accountability in our political system.

With her characteristic outspokenness and irrepressible sense of humour, in Now What? On a Mission to Fix Broken Britain, Carol Vorderman exposes the intricate web of influence responsible for our nation’s unravelling and provides us with a toolkit for building a better and fairer Britain.

Part diary, part manifesto, part journey down the rabbit hole of British politics, this is the story of how ‘an old bird with an iPhone’ exposed the incompetence and lies of the establishment, and inspired countless others to find their voice and stand up for what they believe in.
