Since the start of his career – sacked from his first job in journalism for inventing quotes – Boris Johnson has been a proven liar.The Little Black Book of Boris Johnson’s Lies reflects on the decades-long history of deceit that has paved Johnson’s path through the media, to City Hall, and eventually to 10 Downing Street.This book shows how seemingly small, insignificant lies have been used to numb a nation to the truth, while also corrupting the very idea of decency in British politics.Kyle Taylor is back with the second title in the Little Black Book series, aimed at telling big stories in an accessible way using deep research and plain English. This time with a foreword from Dawn Butler, a Labour MP ejected from the House of Commons chamber for calling out Johnson’s lies, and an afterword by Peter Stefanovic, who has been documenting Johnson’s lies on social media to an audience of millions.This is a frank and uncompromising biography of the man who wanted to be “World King” – the story about our former Prime Minister who wants back into Number 10 that you won’t read anywhere else.

How much data does Facebook really have on me? What is a cookie on the Internet? Is my Amazon Alexa listening to me? Why can’t I seem to stop scrolling endlessly down my Instagram feed? Did social media really help cause an attempted coup in the United States? How did we go from short, 140-character tweets to attempted coups in less than two decades? How much data does Facebook really have on me? Is my Amazon Alexa listening to me? The Little Black Book of Data and Democracy demystifies these seemingly complex topics to help you understand how our very way of life is under threat and what you can do about it before it’s too late. Powered by your personal data, social media has transformed our way of life, from how we get information, meet people and create increasingly siloed communities. This has had a profound impact on democratic society. Our shared reality – the way we collectively understand the world – has rapidly been replaced by conflicting micro-realities that are often fueled by conspiracy theories, lies and “fake news.” This has been driven by a business model that supposedly gives us everything for free. All we have to do is give up our personal data and privacy. If you aren’t paying for the product, then you are the product.
