It’s here.

The updated edition of Strong Words and Hard Times — my first collection of political journalism — is now available.

This isn’t just a book.

It’s a record of what’s been happening in this country while the media looked the other way.

Of the cruelty pushed through under the cover of crises.

Of the lies told, the truth ignored, and the people left behind.

And I want to send it to you — personally signed.

If you donate £20 or more to support Vox Political via Ko-fi, I’ll send you a signed copy of the new edition as a thank-you.

No billionaires. No ads in the middle of the stories. Just journalism funded by people who still care.

What’s in the book?

Strong Words and Hard Times brings together key investigations and commentaries from Vox Political‘s first full year covering UK politics. Inside, you’ll find:

• Real stories about the benefit system and those it hurts

• Exposés of government spin and media bias

• Unfiltered analysis of the policies that reshaped modern Britain — often for the worse

• And a few pieces that still managed to spark hope

If you’ve followed Vox Political since the start, you’ve probably read what’s in here — but seeing it all collected, in print, tells a bigger story. It’s a book of history as it happened.

And right now, that story matters more than ever.

Why now?

Because too many people don’t realise what’s already been done to them.

And because the kind of journalism I do — independent, sharp, unfiltered — can’t happen without your support.

How to Get Your Copy

— Mike
