I will be running to the bookshop so fast. Especially to read Kate’s reflections on it all.

Kate's selected over 100 entries from the diary she kept the year she turned 14—the year her parents divorced, she had sex for the first time, everything changed—and written responses. How real are these memories? Can we ever know ourselves? Why is every entry signed off Leather & Chains?

If you've been lucky enough to hear Kate read from this legendary diary at Bad Diaries Salon over the years, you'll know what's coming: Revlon Custom Eyes, menthols at Suzy's, Jazzercise tights, and a boy called Cameron with a fake Scottish accent and dark hair falling over his eyes...

Palmer invites public scrutiny of how Parliament wields the special legal powers that allow it to regulate its affairs. He argues that even the most venerable institutions must evolve in order to adequately protect the rights of individuals, and democracy itself.
