The last few years have seen a Scottish independence referendum, a
couple of General Elections and a vote on whether or not we should
remain in the European Union. Throw in two uncompromising Labour
leadership battles at UK level and a couple in Scotland, and it
would be true to say that nothing less than a political whirlwind
has swept through the corridors of the Scottish Parliament since it
‘reconvened’ in 1999. Following the turbulent six years for
which Neil Findlay has been a member of the Scottish Parliament for
Lothian, Socialism & Hope tracks the highs and lows of his
personal and political life. From standing in the 2014 election to
become the Leader of the Scottish Labour Party, to acting as Jeremy
Corbyn’s Scottish campaign chief in the 2015 and 2016 leadership
elections, Neil’s political career has been tireless and active.
This book, described by Jeremy Corbyn as ‘an honest, frank and
challenging – as well as humorous of course – account of his
time […] at the forefront of Scottish politics’, also includes
Neil’s inside view on the events of the 2014 Scottish Referendum
and the rise of a more socialist Labour Party. With its
entertaining narrative, it provides unprecedented and personal
insights from within the political sphere itself. As well as
surveying the past few years of political tumult, Socialism &
Hope also looks forward to envision a society transformed by a
revitalised Labour movement.
