Russell Jones

As @RussInCheshire, I write #TheWeekInTory on Twitter/X, regularly reaching an audience of over a million views per week.

My first book was a blackly comic history of Britain's political, economic, social and moral descent from 2010 to 2022, 'The Decade In Tory'. It became a Sunday Times Bestseller, which is still weird to me.

My second book, 'Four Chancellors and a Funeral' recounts the fall of Boris Johnson, the catastrophe of Liz Truss, and the start of Rishi Sunak's gap year in office.

My next book, 'Tories: The End of an Error', continues the story, covering the inevitable collapse of the Conservative Party. It will be published soon after they lose the 2024/25 General Election.
