'One of the most important and compelling books I've ever read...If
you want to understand why we are in this crisis, listen to the
voices all too often airbrushed from the political conversation'
Owen Jones Now We Have Your Attention makes sense of what is
happening in British politics by taking a radically different
perspective: the people's. From a warehouse in Manchester to a pub
in Essex, from the outskirts of Glasgow to a racecourse in Durham,
Jack Shenker uncovers the root causes of our current crisis and the
future direction of British politics through the lives of ordinary
individuals. Taking us deep into communities hollowed out by
austerity and decades of economic disadvantage, among a generation
crippled by precarious work and unaffordable housing, he shows
where the chaos at Westminster ultimately springs from - and how
disillusionment with it is fuelling a passionate engagement with
politics of a completely different kind: local, personal, effective
and utterly fearless. Joining a 'McStrike' protest on a roundabout
in Cambridge and a gathering of the London Renters' Union in the
aftermath of Grenfell, meeting hard-right bloggers in Newcastle and
climate change protesters in Brighton, Shenker draws on exceptional
access to campaign groups, activist movements and grassroots
gatherings throughout the country - including unique access to
Momentum, who have re-radicalised the Labour party from the outside
in - to introduce us to the citizens and leaders of tomorrow:
people who are changing things for themselves. Inspiring and
terrifying in equal measure, Now We Have Your Attention uncovers a
revolutionary transformation in attitudes and behaviour, and a
future that will shape us all.
