Herbert Morrison
With a Foreword by his grandson, Peter Mandelson, this book tells the inspiring story of how 'the chirpy cockney sparrow' and young socialist agitator from Lambeth rose to rule London as Britain's most famous city boss and then, nationally, shaped the Labour Party's policies and directed its successful electoral strategies. In a succession of important Cabinet posts, he shared the catastrophe of Ramsay MacDonald's 1931 Government, was Churchill's inspired choice to fight the German blitz throughout the war, managed Labour's great post-1945 reconstruction programme and ended his career overwhelmed by problems and seemingly inexplicable failures as Foreign Secretary. As Peter Mandelson says in his Foreword:'Morrison is one of Labour's forgotten heroes................the quintessential political organiser..........Writing this Foreword nearly four years into what I hope and believe will be the first term of a long period of Labour government, this is the essential Morrison maxim we must never ignore: delivery and renewal must go hand in hand. That Labour had finally learned the lessons of his own life would give my grandfather great joy. And for me it would b his finest memorial.'

Red Metropolis
A polemical history of municipal socialism in London - and an argument for turning this capitalist capital red again. A polemical history of municipal socialism in London -- and an argument for turning this capitalist capital red again. London is conventionally seen as merely a combination of the financial centre in the City and the centre of governmental power in Westminster, a uniquely capitalist capital city. This book is about the third London - a social democratic twentieth-century metropolis, a pioneer in council housing, public enterprise, socialist design, radical local democracy and multiculturalism. This book charts the development of this municipal power base under leaders from Herbert Morrison to Ken Livingstone, and its destruction in 1986, leaving a gap which has been only very inadequately filled by the Greater London Authority under Livingstone, Boris Johnson and Sadiq Khan. Opposing currently fashionable bullshit about an imaginary "metropolitan elite", this book makes a case for London pride on the left, and makes an argument for using that pride as a weapon against a government of suburban landlords that ruthlessly exploits Londoners.

Your Britain
New Labour's electoral success of the late 20th century was due in no small part to its grasp of media communication. This book reminds us that the importance of the mass media to Labour's political fortunes is by no means a modern phenomenon.
