English | 2023 | ISBN: B0C8TNKNQN | Format: MP3 / Bitrate: 64 Kbps / 12 hours and 13 minutes | 335 Mb
THE INSIDE STORY OF THE MILIBAND AND CORBYN YEARS, AND HOW THEY LED TO THE LABOUR LEFT’S DEMISE.
For 42 years, Chris Williamson was a Labour Party member. In 2010, he was elected to Parliament to represent his home town. However, in 2019, he was unceremoniously suspended from the party after being subjected to a smear campaign, and he later resigned in protest at the betrayal.
In this forensic memoir – free of his Labourist clutches – Williamson provides a unique ringside view. As well as lifting the lid on the amateurish politics-by-focus groups under Ed Miliband, Williamson exposes some of the major events that created and deepened Labour’s ‘antisemitism crisis’ under Jeremy Corbyn.
