‘The bible for The Independent Group and several others’ Nick Robinson, Today Program

Start Again is certainly a life-raft for all those who find themselves politically adrift and a rallying cry for a better kind of politics

Britain can be today divided previous against young, class against class, area against area, nativist against cosmopolitan, wealthy against poor and London against the rest. Our country is normally divided by generation, by education, by place about Start Again: How We Can Fix Our Broken Politics and by attitude.

Politics needs to be turned off and started once again.

In this time around of tumult, when Britain is wrestling using the query of what type of nation it wishes to be, its politics is trapped.

Power is hoarded with a distant and unresponsive centre and our two largest political celebrations have both been captured by those on their outer edges.

Too many of us have been left politically homeless.

In Begin Again, Philip Collins, Situations journalist and until recently a lifelong Labour voter, offers a road map to a different political destination. It really is a road map that, in latest days, continues to be adopted by many from both sides of the politics divide.

Sketching on lessons from background Collins proposes new answers to today’s most urgent queries: queries of education, work, health, casing, security, nationhood, and of how exactly we can achieve a better future.

Hopeful, indignant and inspirational, that is a book for anybody who feels that politics no longer talks to them.
