Total copies: 1
On the night of 7th May 2015, Ed Balls thought there was a chance he would wake up the next morning as the new Chancellor of the Exchequer. Instead, he woke up without a job. Twenty-one years earlier he had left a promising career in journalism to work for Labour in opposition. Moving through the ranks, from adviser to Cabinet minister and on to Shadow Chancellor, he occupied a central and influential position in and out of power during a pivotal period in British history. 'Speaking Out' is a record of a life in politics, but also much more. It is about how power can be used for good, and the lessons to be learned when things go wrong.
