The Prime Minister’s Ironing Board and Other State Secrets has been shortlisted for the awards that really matter, the Paddy Power Political Book Awards, to be held on 19th March. It’s up for the Political Humour and Satire Book of the Year prize, against a number of others including something called the Private Eye Annual edited by someone called Ian Hislop.
If he wins instead of me I shall move the award onto one of the high shelves in the office so he can’t reach it.
