So we have a Starmer government: what comes next?
Books to understand Britain’s political landscape, far-right populism, and how we can build our own Left movements.

The following books are all up to 50% off as part of our Summer Reading sale (ends July 12th).

He will be in conversation with Laleh Khalili.
