really liked it

Publicly available opinions of this book seem to depend heavily on whether the reviewer shares the author's political views. Personally, I do, and have admired Jolyon Maugham since hearing him speak in person during the Remain campaign. I've read better-structured books than this, and am not sure about the right balance between the personal and the political. BUT if you want a succinct overview of the current government's deliberate attacks on the rule of law, this is what you should read. In particular, the chapter on the PPE procurement scandal is breathtaking, even for those of us who thought we knew the facts.
