I'm speaking as someone who hardly ever reads UK political books at all, whether serious, sensationalist or otherwise.
In general you are correct, it's a very rare political "in the moment" book that isn't on the remainder table within 3-4 months.
This one may have a little more longevity because it's subject isn't going away that soon. But the public attention span is pretty short.
