Official synopsis Publisher
Far from another memoir by a Labour insider, ‘Standing for Something’ is a personal account of how the author’s youthful attachment to principle survived well into adulthood and how an abiding naivete about the real nature of power and the corruption of power blinded him to the baser motives of many of those who had grabbed it.”
