Is Socialism Possible in Britain? analyses Jeremy Corbyn' s tenure as Labour leader and the prospects for parliamentary socialism in a post-Corbyn Britain. Lively and insightful, it is informed by an insider' s view of the most radical period in Labour' s history. Seconded to Corbyn' s office from Len McCluskey' s Unite in 2017, Andrew Murray witnessed the extraordinary daily bombardment of the Corbyn project by sections of the Parliamentary Labour Party and an equally hostile mainstream media. He assesses the leadership' s response to the antisemitism controversy and the dilemmas of Brexit, Keir Starmer' s stampede back to the ' extreme centre' , and the posthumous vindication of Corbynist policies in the emergency response to covid-19. The problems that beset Corbyn are likely to confront any similar political project. Is Socialism Possible in Britain? explores how they can be more effectively addressed in the future - a future which we must hope is not so far away.
A vital corrective to establishment efforts to erase Corbynism and deny how close it came to power. -- Ronan Burtenshaw, Editor of Tribune Engaging and very readable, with profound insights and a coruscating wit. * Morning Star *
Andrew Murray served as special advisor to Jeremy Corbyn, chief of staff at Unite the Union and chair of Stop the War. His books include The Fall and Rise of the British Left, A New Labour Nightmare and Off the Rails.
