Written at a critical
juncture in the history
of the Labour Party,
Speak for Britain! is a
thought-provoking and
highly original
interpretation of the
party's evolution, from
its trade union origins
to its status as a
national governing party.
It charts Labour's rise
to power by re-examining
the impact of the First
World War, the general
strike of 1926, Labour's
breakthrough at the 1945
general election, the
influence of post-war
affluence and consumerism
on the fortunes and
character of the party,
and its revival after the
defeats of the Thatcher
era. Controversially,
Pugh argues that Labour
never entirely succeeded
in becoming 'the party of
the working class'; many
of its influential
recruits - from Oswald
Mosley to Hugh Gaitskell
to Tony Blair - were from
middle and upper-class
Conservative backgrounds
and rather than
converting the working
class to socialism,
Labour adapted itself to
local and regional
political cultures.
