Reviews

In this brilliant and painfully honest account of her journey through the labyrinth of New Labour, Liz Davies leaves us in no doubt that Britain is a single-ideology state with two pro-big business factions, distinguished only by their manipulative skills. However, her message is not negative; it is inspirational: a call to thos who value principal above spin, truth above illusion, to rejoin the great movement now re-emerging, that will change the world. - John Pilger If you have principles in the Labour Party, unless they're those of compromise and abject surrender, you're going to get the big stick from Uncle Tony. Fortunately for Liz Davies, and for us, she's tough enough to take the trouble she creates. -- Mark Thomas
