A View From The Foothills (häftad, eng)

''It is said that failed politicians make the best diarists. In which case I am in with a chance.'' Chris MullinChris Mullin has been a Labour MP for twenty years, and despite his refusal to toe the party line - on issues like 90 days detention, for example - he has held several prominent posts.

To the apoplexy of the whips, he was for a time the only person appointed to government who voted against the Iraq War. He also chaired the Home Affairs Select Committee and was a member of the Parliamentary Committee, giving him direct access to the court of Tony Blair.Irreverent, wry and candid, Mullin''s keen sense of the ridiculous allows him to give a far clearer insight into the workings of Government than other, more overtly successful politicians.

He offers humorous and incisive takes on all aspects of political life: from the build-up to Iraq, to the scandalous sums of tax-payers'' money spent on ministerial cars he didn''t want to use. His critically acclaimed diary will entertain and amuse far beyond the political classes.
