How Labour Wins Reviews
A timely and brilliantly illuminating book that offers much needed context to the 2024 general election. It takes us back to Labours early elections and up to modern times, challenging orthodoxies about why Labour loses and how it wins. A must read. Steve Richards, BBC Radio 4 Week in Westminster and host of Rock and Roll Politics
"If Labour is to flourish in power, it needs to know much more about its history. Reading this book would be an excellent starting point for its leaders and followers." Anthony Seldon
