Is Socialism Possible in Britain?

The lessons of the Corbyn years for the future of left politics

The lessons of the Corbyn years for the future of left politics

Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

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.

Book Hero Magic summarised reviews for this book. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! HOW HAS THIS BEEN REVIEWED?

Andrew Murray's Is Socialism Possible in Britain? has been lauded as a fluent and authoritative account, praised for its humorous and candid tone by Gabriel Pogrund of The Times. Ronan Burtenshaw of Tribune describes it as a vital corrective to the erasure of Corbynism, while the Morning Star commends its engaging readability and profound insights. Kevin Maguire from the Daily Mirror finds it both insightful and inspiring, and Tom Clark of the Times Literary Supplement highlights its powerful critique of the global order defended by the Labour right.
