Our take
AI-draftedMaguire and Pogrund's account of Labour's road from the 2019 wipeout to the 2024 landslide centers not on Keir Starmer but on Morgan McSweeney, the strategist who rebuilt the party machine while its ostensible leader comes across as comparatively passive, even spectral, in his own success story. Its acknowledged limit is that the granular process story doesn't extend into an equally detailed account of what that power is for.

“there are revelations on virtually every page of this addictive and compelling book”
