Summary

The explosive, behind-the-scenes account of Labour, from electoral wipe-out in 2019 to its landslide return to government in 2024, by the authors of Left Out

Drawing on their unrivalled access throughout the Labour party, the Times and Sunday Times investigative duo behind Left Out now present the inside story of Labour’s transformation and general election under Starmer.

This is the definitive telling of a momentous time for the party, focusing on Starmer's relentless and single-minded pursuit of power and on the hidden turmoil as he expunged opponents and attempted to unite his party in the face of searingly divisive events.

Richly peopled with all of the major figures of Labour present and past, and revealing who actually wields power in the party today, this is a must-read, warts-and-all picture of how Labour was ruthlessly transformed, how Starmer won Number 10 and who Britain's government really is.
