Cody Dahler: The State of This!
A Thicky Thicky Dumb Dumb's Guide to British Politics.

Want to stop feeling like a thicky thicky dumb dumb in front of all your mates?

Award winning comedian, satirist and political writer Cody Dahler launches his blisteringly funny, sharply researched and pointedly accessible deep dive book at a time when UK politics feels more like a never ending circus of culture wars, personality clashes and questionable decision making. The State of This! is the book readers have been crying out for: a guide to Britain’s political mess that’s as entertaining as it is enlightening, written by one of the UK’s fastest growing comedy stars.

Cody uses his signature wit and razor sharp commentary to tackle the questions that leave people baffled, exhausted or simply shouting at the telly: Why are people voting for Reform UK? Why did we Brexit? What even is the House of Lords. Are we at risk of becoming like the US? Why do our Prime Ministers keep changing? And why, exactly, did outliving a lettuce become the benchmark for political longevity?

The State of This! transforms complex political issues into something readers can actually understand and laugh about. It is the perfect antidote to the confusion, frustration and existential dread generated by the state of Britain today.

With over 2 million followers across platforms, Cody has become a trusted voice for a generation desperate for someone who can explain politics without the jargon, the spin or the condescension. Many chapters in the book were inspired directly by questions from his community, who turn to him daily for clarity, sanity and a good laugh in the middle of the chaos. What better way to arm the people than with a book.
