{"product_id":"socialism-and-hope-book-neil-findlay-9781912147274","title":"Socialism and Hope","description":"The last few years have seen a Scottish independence  referendum, a couple of General Elections and a  vote on whether or not we should remain in the European Union. Throw in two uncompromising  Labour leadership battles at UK level and a couple in Scotland, and it would be true to say that nothing  less than a political whirlwind has swept through  the corridors of the Scottish Parliament since it  ‘reconvened’ in 1999.   Following the turbulent six years for which Neil Findlay  has been a member of the Scottish Parliament for  Lothian, Socialism \u0026amp; Hope tracks the highs and lows of  his personal and political life. From standing in the 2014  election to become the Leader of the Scottish Labour  Party, to acting as Jeremy Corbyn’s Scottish campaign  chief in the 2015 and 2016 leadership elections, Neil’s  political career has been tireless and active.   This book, described by Jeremy Corbyn as ‘an honest, frank and challenging – as well as humorous of course  – account of his time […] at the forefront of Scottish  politics’, also includes Neil’s inside view on the events  of the 2014 Scottish Referendum and the rise of a more  socialist Labour Party. With its entertaining narrative, it provides unprecedented and personal insights from  within the political sphere itself.   As well as surveying the past few years of political tumult, Socialism \u0026amp; Hope also looks forward to envision  a society transformed by a revitalised Labour movement.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49512284160273,"sku":"GOR009123904","price":10.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ LIKE_NEW \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":51450620477713,"sku":"GOR008770080","price":10.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1912147270.jpg?v=1751420861","url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/products\/socialism-and-hope-book-neil-findlay-9781912147274","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
