Reviews

'Chris Williamson was driven out of mainstream politics by an unprecedented campaign conducted by the media and amplified by many leading figures in the Labour Party; a campaign based on smears and lies. This book sets about telling the other side - the side of the truth. A must read' Alexei Sayle 'A clear account of what happened to Chris Williamson and the identifying of those responsible for this shameful episode in Labour politics. We have many lessons to learn if we are ever to have a party of the left which values truth and honesty. At present that is a distant prospect' Ken Loach
'If you want to understand how accusations of anti-Semitism were used to undermine the most radical political movement in the history of the post-war labour movement, you have to read Labour, the anti-Semitism Crisis & the Destroying of an MP. Chris Williamson's removal from parliamentary politics is a lesson in corruption, weakness and courage that we all need to learn from.' Jackie Walker
