Now in paperback: step into the closed corridors of Westminster’s secret society with a journalist at the heart of the political establishment. 

The unassuming brown laminated card issued to Westminster lobby journalists is a VIP pass to the heart of our political world. As a Political Correspondent for the BBC, Carole Walker was a member of this exclusive club for more than twenty years, with a front-row seat for Alastair Campbell’s The Thick of It-style pronouncements and hanging out with a succession of prime ministers – always with an eye on the story.  

Drawing on interviews with former colleagues, politicians, spin doctors and critics of the system, as well as first-hand insight, Lobby Life tells the intriguing story of what really happens behind the closed doors of Westminster.  

This book will intrigue anyone who wants to understand a political system that seeks to shape how and where we consume our news, and to influence who and what we believe.  

‘Entertaining and revealing.’ Andrew Neil

‘Gripping, enjoyable and accessible.’  Sir Anthony Seldon, author of May at 10
