The Candidate
Drawing on first-hand interviews with those involved in the campaign, including its most senior figures, Nunns traces the origins of Jeremy Corbyn’s remarkable ascent in British politics.
Sabotage
"I work every single day in some small way to bring forward the end of Jeremy Corbyn's tenure," said Labour's 'Prince of Darkness' Peter Mandelson in 2017. British politics has never before seen a political party sabotage itself to stop its own leader becoming prime minister. Yet, as this explosive account from Corbyn's former speechwriter Alex Nunns shows, that is precisely what happened when an outsider threatened the establishment in Labour and beyond. This was a wrecking operation that changed the course of history. Nunns tells how bureaucrats deep within the bowels of the party worked to throw the 2017 general election; how Labour MPs colluded with a viciously hostile media to keep a To...

The Candidate
A sharply observant, on-the-ground account of the rise of Labour Party leader Jeremy Corbyn, whose uncompromisingly anti-establishment stance has reinvigorated British politics.

People Get Ready!

People Get Ready!dives into the nitty gritty of what’s needed to bring about transformative change. Unlike a decade ago, the left’s problem is no longer a shortage of big ideas. Inside and outside the Labour Party, an agenda for new forms of public and community ownership is taking shape. Today the biggest danger facing the left is lack of preparedness—the absence of strategies that can make these ideas a rea...

Corbyn
How Jeremy Corbyn, the radical left candidate for the Labour leadership, won twice—and won big In the 2017 general election, Jeremy Corbyn pulled off an historic upset, attracting the biggest increase in the Labour vote since 1945. It was another reversal of expectations for the mainstream media and his ‘soft-left’ detractors. Demolishing the Blairite opposition in 2015, Corbyn had already seen off an attempted coup. Now, he had shattered the government’s authority, and even Corbyn’s most vitriolic critics have been forced into stunned mea culpas. For the first time in decades, socialism is back on the agenda—and for the first time in Labour’s history, it defines the leadership...
Crucible's Greatest Matches
Since 1977 the Crucible Theatre in Sheffield has staged the snooker World Championship and in that time become one of the most beloved and iconic venues in sport. In this book the UK's leading snooker writer Hector Nunns makes his selection of the greatest matches ever played in the famous amphitheatre, featuring the heroes of the early years right through to the household names of the present day. With exclusive contributions from the players involved, and how they saw the build-up, the match itself, the agony of defeat and ecstasy of victory, and the experience of being involved in a memorable encounter on the sport's greatest stage, in what is always the biggest, best and final tournament of the season. The Crucible's Greatest Matches recalls how promoter Mike Watterson stumbled across the theatre with the help of his wife Carole and throws the spotlight on classic matches involving Ronnie O'Sullivan, Stephen Hendry, Jimmy White, the late and much-missed Alex Higgins and Paul Hunter, Cliff Thorburn, Terry Griffiths, Ken Doherty and of course the 1985 black-ball final between Dennis Taylor and Steve Davis.
