There’s a reason why Phillips’s books end up on bestseller lists, and that is her lack of stuffiness, her sharp wit and don’t-fuck-with-me attitude. The writing here is conversational, irreverent and deceptively clever; it’s as if she and her reader are sharing a bottle of wine on a Friday night, leading to a level of candour that a more cautious politician might view as reckless but is very much Phillips’s USP.

Let’s Be Honest is the book of someone shouting from the sidelines, whose author now has the power to change things. Good luck to her.

– The Times

Let’s Be Honest is a call for a more authentic type of politics, where politicians trust voters to understand difficult truths and reject sloganeering, and voters in turn give politicians the space to make the tough choices needed to solve systemic, long-term challenges.

– New Statesman

An entertaining read.
