The first of my write-ups of the books about the 2024 general election was for Anushka Asthana’s Taken As Red: How Labour Won Big and the Tories Crashed the Party. It has now come out in paperback, with a new subtitle of The Truth About Starmer’s Labour and with the previous cover showing a map of Britain replaced with the 10 Downing Street front door.
