The End of the Party Book

This highly charged account of life in the Labour party from 2001 following the second term election win. Andrew Rawnsley highlights Gordon Browns character and suggests that he is highly strung and bullish. Rawnsley's book makes numerous claims that Prime Minister was highly intolerant and behaved badly towards people who worked in his department, both as chancellor and later as Prime Ministers. Rawnsley does not disclose all of his sources and uses his journalistic code towards confidentially towards eyewitness, but believes the stories to be absolutely reliable. Very interesting is the period of the phantom election, which seems to have been particularly damaging to the Prime Ministers reputation because the election was planned but cancelled at the eleventh hour, and let to accusations that Gordon Brown dithered. Plots to remove Gordon Brown from office are also documented, as well as his handling of the economic crisis and spats with the chancellor Alistair Darling. Written in a typical journalistic style Andrew Rawnsley does indeed say it how he thinks it is.Read More
