Overview
In this new and expanded paperback version of his acclaimed book, veteran BBC political correspondent Nicholas Jones provides for the first time the full, unspun account of the Jo Moore affairs and their fall-out, and brings up to date his bizarre, disturbing yet hugely entertaining chronicle of the culture of control freakery.Synopsis
Journalist Jones indicts English Prime Minister Tony Blair, former cabinet minister Peter Mandelson, Downing Street press secretary Alastair Campbell, and other members of the New Labour Party on charges of stifling political dissent within their party and manipulating the press to maintain control over the party apparatus and the government. He recounts, often from his own personal experience, the relationship between Labour and the media, from just before Blair's landslide 1997 election victory through to the Hindujani passports-for-cash scandal.
