Mae bachgen ifanc yn byw mewn man lle mae unrhyw beth nad yw'n las yn cael ei wahardd, trwy orchymyn y llywodraeth. Ond mae gan y bachgen gyfrinach: mae wrth ei fodd â'r lliw melyn. Mae'n teimlo bod hoffi melyn yn gorfod bod yn beth drwg. There's something deeply pathetic and unbecoming about her 'rider'; demands (while FS) for a bottle of white wine in the fridge at every overnight stay, and her aides hastily trying to rearrange her diplomatic engagements the next day to cover up her hangovers. Another mayonnaise-hating zealot (Jr) bought me this surprisingly engaging read for Christmas. If only the shitshow it describes were a comedy instead of real life. What a wasted opportunity. Full of secondary sources, rather than primary ones, this is not much more than a cut and paste job. But a casual, barbed comment by her bitchy magazine editor friend Lili makes Faith wonder whether her world is as wonderful as it seems on the surface. Is Peter's odd behaviour of late purely the result of stress at work? Is Faith really too smug and trusting?

The authors note at the start of the book that it was rushed out, and you can tell - I counted a number of grammatical errors throughout the read.I can't say, having read this book, that I'm more in-the-know about any of this than I was before. What I would want to learn is, if some of her leadership flaws were evident earlier in her career, why didn't they stop her from rising to the top? The book says she was sometimes accused of leaking, was occasionally rude to staff, and could have achieved more in certain ministerial roles - but that is mainly it, and the writers say she always worked her way through it and didn't let it deter her. We have to ask, is politics really so full of second-raters that someone who ultimately wasn't fit for the job was over-promoted, by her peers, to Prime Minister? Having worked in Westminster, I know there are some capable and good people there, despite it being an incredibly volatile and at times toxic environment. And if anyone did have serious doubts, who were they, and what would they say? Their voices are not really in this book - which suggests to me that the writers were somewhat inclined towards Truss, trying to deliver an, on-balance, favourable book, without the insight of her foes. Because this isn't an over-exaggeration: Liz Truss was the worst Prime Minister in our history, and her mini-budget did real damage to the finances of many hardworking British people, especially regarding mortgages. Many in her own party would agree, having thrown her out so venomously just a few months ago. Bad biography about Britain's worst Prime Minister written by a client journalist that still makes her out to be an utterly incompetent narcissist. Starred Review. Touches of humor...lighten the story, and the expert pacing is complemented by well-rounded character development. A strong infusion of magic and wonder distinguish this debut novel. Rushed out because of events, this desperately needs a copy edit. There are scores of sentences that make no sense, and scores of others that need to be read several times to understand. I also spotted several factual errors: as it’s a subject I know little about, I dread to think how many others there are.

The basic story of Truss is by now well established: the geeky, outspoken daughter of a couple of leftish Cambridge graduates, who fell for the contrariness of libertarianism at Oxford, became a Tory and rose rapidly up the party ranks to become prime minister. It’s the familiar narrative that is retold here, albeit with some wit, insight and a well-informed ear for the telling detail. They quote some of the people who know her, including her followers and adversaries, but on the whole, the book is just a short summary of her career.Gellir darllen y stori dyner, gadarnhaol hon fel metaffor am fod yn LHDTC+, teimlo'n 'wahanol' mewn rhyw ffordd neu fel cydnabyddiaeth syml bod pawb yn unigolyn. Mae'n ddathliad hyfryd dros ben o fod yn driw i chi'ch hun.
