Praise for Michael Spicer: Hilarious . . . turn[s] bumbling speeches into comedy gold * * Evening Standard * * Michael Spicer's hilarious trove of emails, texts and diary entries reveal more of the man in the Room Next Door and the perils and pratfalls of being a political adviser. I grinned throughout like a loon. The book that governments wouldn't want you to see. So see it! -- SANJEEV BHASKAR This is the sort of book you might read on public transport and then spend the entire journey trying to stifle laughter. Spicer is a FUNNY MAN. This is going to be under a lot of Christmas trees this year and rightly so. It is a Treat -- DIANE 'PHILOMENA CUNK' MORGAN
