Tony Blair's least favourite colleague casts a mordant eye on whips & rebels, wars & liberties, spin & patronage, & expenses & legacies
- & at the same time delivers a passionate message about parliament's enduring value. This subversive & richly comical account of British political life during New Labour's term in office presents an intimate picture of what it was like to be its most prominent dissident member. Bob Marshall-Andrews looks at the sombre events of the last thirteen years including wars in Kosovo & Iraq, sustained assaults on ancient English liberties, & the worst scandal of recent political history. He reveals the stories that lie behind them & the Westminster dramas of intrigue, triumph & disaster. He describes the delights & trials of his work as constituency MP & examines his own & others' motives for entering politics: should the ambition, he asks, be to achieve power or to control it. Bob Marshall-Andrews breathes new life into the old values of libertarian socialism. " Off Message" is as provocative & entertaining as its author's campaigns & interventions.
