Did the Labour government improve people's lives? Are we healthier,
wealthier or wiser; happier or safer than in 1997, when Labour came
to power? If we are, how much do we have to thank Blair and Brown
and their cabinets for? In The Verdict, Polly Toynbee and David
Walker strip away spin, personality and political rhetoric to judge
how our lives have changed. They consider Labour's lasting legacy
and what its successors can learn from Labour's performance.
Travelling the country, Toynbee and Walker compare Labour's
promises with people's own accounts of what they experienced in
recent years. They drop in on a Sure Start centre and visit
schools, hospitals and colleges - and estates plagued by disorder -
to ask: what different did Labour make? Combining sharp, witty
writing, human stories and expert analysis, The Verdict charts
Labour's often bewildering array of initiatives, projects and
schemes. It questions how many depended on bubble finance and how
many will be missed as recent public spending cuts take hold. From
the early optimism of 'Things can only get better' to the misery of
the financial crisis, Toynbee and Walker hand down the definitive
judgement on Labour's record.
