Description of The Little Red Book of New Labour Sleaze |
The first book ever written by Internet bloggers.
Iain Dale and Guido Fawkes run two of Britain's most read political blogs. They invited their fellow bloggers and blog readers to contribute to the book, which will detail more than 100 instances of New Labour sleaze since 1997. Tony Blair's Labour Party has been involved in more than 100 scandals of one sort or other - cronyism, nepotism, sex, money, drugs - you name it, they've been at it.
For the first time Britain's blogging community has come together to chart the fall of New Labour, from the heights of the 1997 election victory to the depths of John Prescott's diary secretary. The book contains details of more than 100 New Labour scandals including...
- David Blunkett's Nannygate & DNA scandals
- John Prescott - serial shagger
- Peter Mandelson's passport & mortgage errors
- Cherie's freebie holidays & expensive haircuts
- Lord Irvine's wallpaper
- Tessa Jowell & the Italian Connection
- And about 95 more...
Iain Dale says: "This is the first time a group of bloggers have come together to write a book. The power of blogging is that it is instantaneous - and that's more or less what this book will be. The blogging community has played a leading part in exposing the lies and hypocrisy of New Labour. By bringing together all their sleaze and scandal into one magnificent tome we aim to demonstrate why Tony Blair head's the sleaziest government in living memory."
Guido Fawkes says: "New Labour promised to be 'whiter than white', yet during the last 9 years they have averaged a sleazy escapade almost every month. The time is right to compile them all into one handy volume. Getting the blogosphere to come together to write the book will get it produced fast and furiously by diverse new writers."
