Can anyone recommend a good book on the history of uk politics?

Something 1400 onwards?

I bought this for DC as pre-uni reading and then swiped it myself. It covers 1688 to Brexit. It’s for a popular audience rather than an academic text and is very readable.

www.amazon.co.uk/Short-Political-History-Britain-Revolution/dp/1520872364?pf_rd_p=adca869a-d3d8-5e33-8295-d52b20e9a79e&pf_rd_r=D2A6H0TF58K86QSWEX5R&pf_rd_s=mobile-hybrid-11&pf_rd_t=BROWSE_ANYWHERE&ref_=mh_s9_apbd_simh_b18aV&tag=mumsnetforu03-21&pf_rd_i=271343

To cover the whole period you want, I suspect you’ll need two or more titles. Googling for undergraduate reading lists can be a good starting point.

An utterly Impartial History of Britain and An utterly Exasperated History of Britain by John o Farrell are both very good if you want a humorous take on history and politics.
