Description
This collection opens with the 2017 general election campaign and Labour's unexpectedly positive result. It ends with Johnson's victory in the December 2019 general election and the failure of the Corbyn project. Brought together, these briefings comprise a real-time history of two of the most turbulent years in recent British politics. They also fulfil an urgent need for the left: to understand what went wrong so that we can move forward.Lindsey German's political briefings are emailed to thousands of subscribers every Monday morning. As a counterpoint to mainstream media comment, they've been hailed as balanced, well-written, insightful and as a sane alternative to the right-wing bias we face elsewhere.
