{"product_id":"the-real-nigel-farage-9781035447008","title":"The Real Nigel Farage : A Would-Be Prime Minister On Trial","description":"\u003cp\u003eNigel Farage is one of the most consequential British politicians of our age. He is a power in the land, and it is possible that he will become the UK's prime minister after the next general election. But who is he?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFarage's life has been one hell of a romp. The man who delivered Brexit makes the political weather like no one else. He talks saloon-bar English to voters, shows courage, and cracks good jokes, sometimes at his own expense. He has survived a car accident and a plane crash, and has come through it all baring his tobacco-stained teeth and croaking his trademark laugh.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBut there is another, darker, side to the man who would be our leader. In The Real Nigel Farage , fearless investigative reporter John Sweeney makes the case for the prosecution, levelling seven grave charges that Farage is not a fit and proper candidate to become prime minister or be anywhere near power.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDrawing on interviews with people who have seen Farage up close and personal - from fellow Dulwich College pupils to party colleagues and at least one former lover - Sweeney paints a portrait of a man whose character can be summed up in four words: charisma, cruelty, chaos - and greed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSweeney has gone head-to-head with Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin in a career spanning three decades. Now it's Nigel Farage's turn. This is the real Nigel Farage. You can't say you haven't been warned.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor: John Sweeney\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ch4\u003eBiography: historical, political \u0026amp; military, Politics \u0026amp; government, Fascism \u0026amp; Nazism, Political campaigning \u0026amp; advertising\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003ch5\u003ePublished on 10 Sep 2026 by Headline Publishing Group.\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHardback\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"John Sweeney","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57322222649722,"sku":"9781035447008","price":22.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0373\/4125\/files\/9781035447008.jpg?v=1790686462","url":"https:\/\/belfastbooks.co.uk\/products\/the-real-nigel-farage-9781035447008","provider":"Belfast Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
