THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER, Get In is the definitive behind-the-scenes account of Labour’s brutal reinvention and dramatic return to power.''The book about Keir Starmer we have all been waiting for'' TIM SHIPMAN''Stuffed full of scoops . . . revealing who''s really in charge'' LAURA KUENSSBERG''A remarkable piece of journalism'' RORY STEWARTFrom electoral wipeout in 2019 to landslide victory in 2024 and on into Labour’s first hundred days in government, Get In is a blistering exposé of the most significant and ruthless political transformation in a generation.At its heart is Morgan McSweeney, a mastermind of political subterfuge and author of a strategy to eviscerate the party, bury the left and rebuild it as a vote-winning machine. In Starmer he saw the perfect vessel for his vision: a man with no political identity but burning with ambition and a single all-consuming principle: to win.Drawing on unrivalled access throughout the party and extensive leaks of internal party documents and WhatsApp messages, Get In shows how together they betrayed and marginalised Corbyn and his followers, then forged a path in which promises, and at times principles, were readily discarded in pursuit of power.Richly peopled with the major figures of Labour present and past, this is the coming-of-age story of Britain''s government. In an era in which faith in politics has plummeted, this is how to game your way to the ultimate prize. But what on earth do you do when you get there?‘A rattling tale terrifically well told . . . extremely well-sourced . . . dramatic detail’ Andrew Rawnsley, Observer‘Fast-paced . . . cutting one-liners . . . it reads as if the authors were alongside McSweeney and Starmer’ Jason Cowley, Sunday Times‘Fascinating . . . devastating . . . full of lively stories’ Andrew Marr, New Statesman‘Unsparing . . . brilliant . . . so many golden nuggets’ Michael Gove, Spectator‘Revealing . . . pacy . . . dispassionate but informed . . . a cracking read’ Financial Times‘A gripping story of raw politics and ruthless men’ Helen Lewis''Revealing . . . compelling'' Anne McElvoy, Evening Standard''Extraordinarily detailed and sometimes bloodstained'' Tom Baldwin, Guardian''As excruciating as it is insightful'' Economist‘A superb work of contemporary history which defines the Starmer premiership’ Peter Oborne''If you have questions about Starmer’s budding reign . . . expect many of them to be answered'' Kara Kennedy, Telegraph ****‘Compelling’ John Harris, Guardian‘Fascinating’ Andrew Grice, Independent
