This is the UK 2026, John Waggner newly elected leader of the hastily formed centrist One Nation Party presides over a hung parliament, a discontented electorate and striking cheese makers.

He and his power-hungry MPs must cling onto authority through whatever shaky means possible. Can one man, a Svengali spin doctor and some dodgy data unite the country? And what role can his wife, the King and a large spider play in keeping the lights on?

This hilariously acerbic new comedy by Michael McManus, the writer of Maggie & Ted, puts leadership on the ledge and goes inside the chaos of government to see whether advisers do advise and if ministers can decide.
