A GUARDIAN, NEW STATESMAN AND SPECTATOR BOOK OF THE YEAR 'A
whodunnit political page-turner' Melissa Benn, New Statesman 'The
best political book I have read for a long while' Rod Liddle, The
Spectator From the No.1 bestselling author of The Establishment, an
urgent analysis of where the Left - and Britain - goes next We live
in an age of upheaval. The global crisis of Covid-19 has laid bare
the deep social and economic inequalities which were the toxic
legacy of austerity. These revolutionary times are an opportunity
for a radical rethink of Britain as we know it, as the politically
impossible suddenly becomes imaginable. And yet, the Left's last
attempt to upend the established order and transform millions of
lives came to a crashing halt on 12th December 2019, when Jeremy
Corbyn led the Labour party to its worst electoral defeat since
1935. In This Land, Owen Jones provides an insider's honest and
unflinching appraisal of a movement: how it promised to change
everything, why it went so badly wrong, where this failure leaves
its values and ideas, and where the Left goes next in the new world
we find ourselves in. He takes us on a compelling, page-turning
journey through a tumultuous decade in British politics, gaining
unprecedented access to key figures across the political spectrum.
It is a tale of high hopes and hubris, dysfunction and
disillusionment. There is, Jones urges, no future for any
progressive project that does not face up to and learn from its
errors. We have the opportunity to build a fairer country and a
more equal world, but if our time is to come, then we must learn
from our past. 'An absorbing, nuanced account of the making of
electoral disaster' Gaby Hinsliff, Guardian
