#7days7books day7 maybe not influential but i have enjoyed this challenge and looking at my bookshelves couldn't think of a suitable bk to end upon; irving, bronte, Vonnegut, bulgakov, Austen were all staring at me but in this time of uncertainty this title stood out! Things will definitely get better ☺
With thanks to @Blaire for the tag.
This happens all too often! 😱😡

The Blair years have been tarnished by the iraq decision but this book takes as it's title the anthem to the 1997 campaign which after 17 years of a conservative government gave hope to millions.
This book tells of the writers years as a labour campaigner in the 1980's and is very funny.

A social history of Britain in the mid 90s told through the lens of Britpop - the songs and the musicians. Fascinating.
pickAn excellent account of the infighting between the major participants in the first New LAbour government between 1997 and 2001. The animosity between Blair and Brown was vitriolic even then.

Fascinated by this account of the successes, failures and extraordinarily deep animosities of the first New Labour administration (1997-2001). I am amazed that they achieved anything as so much time and energy were expended pursuing bitter rivalries and grudges within the Cabinet. #andrewrawnsley #servantsofthepeople #ukpolitics #politics #history #newlabour #tonyblair #gordonbrown
A fantastically apposite summation of Robin Cook‘s misjudgement of personal issues while he was Foreign Secretary in Tony Blair‘s New Labour administration. #andrewrawnsley #servantsofthepeole #robincook #hubris #politics #nonfiction #ukpolitics #newlabour #lackofcommonsense #goodmanledastray #history #foreignsecretary
