Overview

‘A persuasive manifesto for a better Britain.’ Observer Book of the Day Britain is in crisis. This timely book by one of the stars of frontline politics shows a way out. In this brilliant and accessible intervention, Lisa Nandy reveals how Britain can leave behind the mess in which we find ourselves. All In charts a course towards a fairer, more equal, more prosperous country by drawing on the greatest asset we have – each other. Rapid global changes, political division and economic crisis have left Britain reeling. For decades, large swathes of the country have been shut out, condemned to low productivity, underinvestment and managed decline, and stripped of their voice. With most major cities now beset with high housing costs, air pollution and congestion, even the ‘winners’ are losing. All In shows how, by handing power and resources to people with a stake in the outcome, Britain can draw on the talent, assets and potential in every part of the country and start firing on all cylinders again. Finding strength rather than fear in our differences, it reimagines the relationship between people and government so that all of us can play our part in meeting the challenges of our age and rebuilding Britain the only way that works – together. Lucid, clear-eyed and hopeful, this book sets out how we restore values, energy and direction to our politics and offers a glimpse of the alternative future that remains within our grasp.

Reviews

'Nandy makes a powerful argument for rethinking politics.' New Statesman 'A much-needed intervention. ... This fast and accessible read from a politician who interpreted the signs of the times earlier than most [offers] a deceptively radical vision and one that Labour should embrace.' Observer, Book of the Day 'All In gives a clear sense of Nandy's ambitions for the Labour party's future policy. ... Bang on the political zeitgeist.' The Sunday Times 'Brilliant, brave and bursting with ideas.' Jess Phillips MP 'A powerful and deeply authentic voice. All In offers a note of hope and decency, a vision of how things can and should be. A humane and decent personal manifesto that does not shirk the challenges and dangers we face.' Philippe Sands 'Lisa Nandy is a big thinker and a gifted story teller who makes sense of a world that seems to be spinning out of control. All In is a must-read.' Frances O'Grady, General Secretary of the TUC 'Original, thought-provoking and exciting.'Helle Thorning-Schmidt, former Prime Minister of Denmark 'Not only was Lisa one of the first to understand what was happening to Labour in its traditional heartlands, but she has translated that diagnosis into a positive agenda for change and renewal rooted in the best traditions of the Labour movement.' Jon Cruddas MP 'Wide-ranging, imaginative, practical and believable.' Danny Dorling 'A tour de force. All In outlines what a better world might look like and how we can raise our game to meet the challenges of the 21st century.' Professor Will Jennings 'In an era of robotic politicians ... Lisa Nandy is different. She listens to questions, then actually answers them.' The Times 'Lisa Nandy is sharp, articulate, charismatic and clever.' The Independent
