Planes, Trains and Toilet Doors is an entertaining and original romp through the highs and lows of British political history and the unlikely locations that have decided our national fate. Forget Westminster bust-ups and PMQs, some of the key events that have shaped modern British politics didn't happen in the cloisters of parliament or Downing Street's corridors of power, but in car parks, village halls and seaside resorts where the mundane play host to the mighty. From Pitt the Younger's Putney Heath duel to finding Margaret Thatcher a voice coach on a train, Harold Wilson's Scilly season holidays to John Major's dental appointment clearing his path to No10 - these are the places where snap, sometimes daft, decisions changed the course of politics. Matt Chorley has spent almost two decades covering Westminster, interviewing prime ministers, mocking ministers and chronicling the serious, and sometimes unintentionally hilarious, events which act as unlikely turning points in the direction of a nation. Illustrated by award-winning political cartoonist Morten Morland, Planes, Trains and Toilet Doors combines Matt's research and smart analysis with his background in comedy to create a hilarious must-have for anyone interested in politics
