In his hard-hitting look at the contemporary scene in Westminster and beyond, Times columnist and Tony Blair’s former speech-writer Philip Collins examines why so many of us feel that politicians no longer speak to, or for, us. And he comes up with a startling proposition: we need to rip it up and start again.
