The Complete Yes Minister is a companion book to the eponymous British satirical TV series. Summary of the Book Ministers are busy men. They’ve meetings to attend, speeches to give, and votes to win. They don’t even have time to go to the House of Commons, because really, everyone knows that government doesn’t take place from the House of Commons. Government is a private business, much of it is a secret process which would only confuse normal people. Politics, on the other hand, is everywhere. In this book, written by the Right Hon. James Hacker MP himself in 2019, he explains that since he’s out of the confines of the Thirty-Year rule, he free to explain what has been happening in his life. He tries his best to explain what has happened, what he thinks has happened and what he thinks we should believe has happened. It’s a rather long story, but hold on to your fish ‘n chips for it’s a hilarious one. About the Authors Jonathan Lynn is an English comedy writer, actor and film director.
