Book Description

The first book ever written by UK political bloggers. Edited by Iain Dale (iaindale.blogspot.com) and Guido Fawkes (order-order.com) the book details 100 instances of Labour sleaze since 1997. Containing a 'sleazeometer' the book includes chapters on Lord Irvine's wallpaper, John Prescott's Cocktail Sausage, Alastair Campbell's lies, Peter Mandelson's double resignation, Ron Davies's badger watching and 'moment of madness' and much much more. If you want to annoy Tony Blair, buying this book will achieve it.

of power but to do a job and to uphold the highest
standards in public life." Tony Blair, May 1997

"I think that most people who have dealt with me think
that I am a pretty straight sort of guy – and I am." Tony Blair, November 1997, On the Record

"Their politics without conscience brought fascination
to begin with, then admiration; next it will bring
disillusion; finally it will being contempt." William Hague, October 1997

4.0 out of 5 stars a chronological guide to 10 years of one scandal after another, 5 May 2007
By J. Power (London, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
A handy little pocket sized quick reference guide to the facts of all those dozens and dozens of New Labour scandals that have regularly slipped through the headlines over the last 10 years.

Very useful indeed if you can't quite now remember what they were all about, or want to refresh your memory of some of your old favorites.

Our libel laws keep the accounts within the limits of factual accuracy and 'fair comment.' And I did not read any part that did not seem to accurately reflect what I'd been hearing and reading in the media at the time the scandal was making the headlines.

4.0 out of 5 stars Little Red Book of New Labour Sleaze, 23 April 2007
By Oli (Andover, Hampshire United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
Infuriating. Although light-hearted, this book proves just how useless and corrupt the whole New Labour project is. Anyone who (still) whinges about the sleaze of the Major years and/or actually thinks Blair is a good PM should read this book. The depths of incompetence reached by New Labour ministers is frankly scary (Steve 'Pants' Byers comes to mind)! You could almost feel sorry for them. Of course it's biased to the right, but it sure as hell ensures I'll never be voting Labour! Thoroughly recommended and good for the coffee table.

4.0 out of 5 stars Very Worthwhile, 29 May 2006
By ed thomas (Prague, Czech Republic) - See all my reviews
Ok, first things first- I did actually write one teensy little contribution to this book, but I don't stand to make anything out of it and I have been reading it with general interest so I think I can write with some objectivity.

It's a very worthwhile book. Some contributions are funny; some very informative; some one wonders a little at, but that is a subjective thing I am sure.

Basically it's a book with a lot of recent history compressed into its pages. It's a book which puts politics in the palm of your hand. It hasn't a beginning, middle or end, and you most probably won't read from beginning to end, but you will pick it up again and again and by the end you will get to know it quite well. It's an excellent coffee table book, really no matter what your politics are.

For basically it's not about politics Left and Right but about the nature of power in Britain at this specific time in history. It should be valuable to journalists, stimulating to lay people, instructive to historians. It's an artefact, and a pretty good one at that.
