informative lighthearted fast-paced

4.0

The fall of Corbyn's leadership of the Labour Party is chronicled in excruciating detail. Starting in the highs of the post-2017 election period, when Corbyn looked to have brought socialism back into the mainstream, it ends with Corbyn an outcast, having led Labour to its worst defeat in decades. 

The reason for this fall? Corbyn's inaction on Brexit negotiations; sabotage of his campaign by Labour MPs and the ignoring of antisemitism claims.  It was a really interesting book, with some shocking insights on big-name politicians, but it got very complicated with all the different characters and names getting mixed up in my head.
