This book tells the story of how the moderate right in the Labour
Party, trumped by the left for a decade and weakened by defections
to the SDP in 1981, fought back organisationally to regain control
of the party by 1985, producing an NEC supportive of Neil Kinnock
and ready to expel Militant, introduce One-Member-One-Vote and
return the party to electability. It describes the Manifesto Group
of Labour MPs, Labour Solidarity, Forward Labour and the
all-important but secret St Ermins Group of senior trade unionists,
each of which strove to ensure that the party represented Labour
voters and trade union members. Written by an insider, it draws on
extensive interviews with all the key players and unique access to
private papers and closed archives to explain how the moderates
triumphed over the hard left. -- .
