Roy Hattersley

This autobiography presents an account of Roy Hattersley's lifetime in the Labour party. It begins with his schooldays in post-war Sheffield, through his arrival into Parliament in Harold Wilson's first intake in 1964, to his election as deputy leader of the party under Neil Kinnock. During this period, the Honourable Member for the Sparkbrook constituency of Birmingham never forgot his Yorkshire roots (or his passion for Sheffield Wednesday FC). This memoir evokes a 50-year-old journey that has taken the Labour party from Attlee's Welfare Statism and nationalization programme to Tony Blair's modernist tendency.
