Description
Tony Blair's 13-year tenure as Britain's prime minister was marked by significant political shifts. His New Labour government won three consecutive elections, with two majorities, but has since been polarized within the party. This book offers an in-depth examination of the Blair government's record and its common narrative. Drawing on new contributions from key figures, including Tony Blair himself, Jon Davis and John Rentoul explore how New Labour was not a single entity, but rather a coalition of different factions. They reveal the inner workings of the government, including Blair's development of his ideas for healthcare reform and foreign policy, as well as his complex relationship with Chancellor Gordon Brown. The authors also examine the enduring debates within the Labour Party during this period, including public service reform, party divisions, and the Iraq war.
