Reviews
Brutally funny -- Marcus Berkmann, Daily Mail; The irresistible vade mecum of every prangmeister and cock-up artist. -- Boris Johnson, Mayor of London; 'a stocking-fillerish contribution for the political nerd in your life'--Helen Lewis, Guardian's best political books of the year; 'Confused? Of course you are. You're supposed to be. But help is at hand: Hutton's handbook cracks the everyday code of the euphemisms, evasions, avoidances and ambiguities that say less than they mean and mean the reverse of what they say' -- Iain Finlayson, The Times; 'Superb. Rare to find so much wit and insight in just 146 pages' -- Andrew Sparrow, political blogger at The Guardian; 'Darkly funny and expertly observed' -- Michael Deacon, parliamentary sketchwriter at The Telegraph; 'Hutton's 'translations' from what people say to what they mean are ten-chuckles-a-minute' --Matthew Parris, from the foreword
