FBF: Rosie Holt MP: Why We Were Right

Rosie Holt, the desperate and loyal Tory MP* famous for her viral twitter ‘interviews’, is finally here in book form to celebrate the last 14 years of Conservative government and explain to you, the British public, why the so called “scandals” or “controversial” decisions derided by the left were completely right (and intentional) all along. She’ll make Tories of you yet!

*Rosie Holt became a viral sensation over lockdown when she created satirical videos of a *fake* politician whom many people still mistake as real. In addition to bringing her alter ego to the stage, she’ll also be talking about her book Why We Were Right, and how studying the drivel spoken by politicians has helped harness the power of laughter in a post-satire world.

"I honestly think that Sunak should appoint Rosie Holt to the Cabinet and let her do the morning media rounds very day. It would clear up so much confusion" Alastair Campbell

"If she can stay in character long enough, she'll have a Telegraph column and a seat on Question Time by teatime" James O'Brien

"Beautifully observed, performed – and timed – they’ve skewered with such precision the contortions required of the current crop of Tory MPs that they’ve been mistaken for the real thing."
