Reviews

"This is a fascinating account of why—as well as how—Jeremy became leader of the Labour Party and transformed our politics." —John McDonnell, Shadow Chancellor of the Exchequer

"A really well-reported, delightfully-spiteful book. Heartily recommended." —Aditya Chakrabortty, The Guardian

"Insightful... As far as the leader's closest allies are concerned, Nunns's book is the most authoritative yet published on his rise." —Stephen Bush, The New Statesman
