This is a comprehensively updated new edition of the essential guide to the qualities and vulnerabilities of political leaders. As the party that championed trade union rights, the creation of the NHS and the establishment of a national minimum wage, Labour has played an undoubtedly crucial role in the shaping of contemporary British society. And yet the leaders who have stood at its helm - from Keir Hardie to Sir Keir Starmer, via Clement Attlee, Tony Blair and Jeremy Corbyn - have steered the party vessel with enormously varying degrees of success. This book considers the attributes and achievements of each leader in the context of their respective time and diplomatic landscape.
