Get In by Patrick Maguire

*THE INSTANT SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER* *A FINANCIAL TIMES, GUARDIAN AND TELEGRAPH BOOK OF THE YEAR 2025* Get In is the explosive behind-the-scenes story of Labour’s brutal return to power and a revelatory account of Keir Starmer's ascent to Number 10. ‘Without question the political book of the year’ Tim Shipman ‘A cracking read’ Financial Times ‘Gripping . . . fast-paced’ Sunday Times ‘A rattling tale terrifically well told’ Andrew Rawnsley ‘So many golden nuggets’ Michael Gove From electoral wipeout in 2019 to landslide victory in 2024 and on into Labour’s first hundred days in government, Get In is a blistering exposé of the most significant and ruthless political transformation in a generation. At its heart is Morgan McSweeney, a mastermind of political subterfuge and author of a strategy to eviscerate the party, bury the left and rebuild it as a vote-winning machine. In Starmer he saw the perfect vessel for his vision: a man with no political identity but burning with ambition and a single all-consuming principle: to win. Drawing on unrivalled access throughout the party and extensive leaks of internal party documents and WhatsApp messages, Get In shows how together they betrayed and marginalised Corbyn and his followers, then forged a path in which promises, and at times principles, were readily discarded in pursuit of power. ‘Remarkable’ Rory Stewart ‘Riveting . . . the revelations made me gasp’ Matt Chorley ‘Stuffed full of scoops’ Laura Kuenssberg ‘Devastating . . . full of lively stories’ Andrew Marr ‘Impeccably written’ Lewis Goodall ‘Gripping’ Helen Lewis
