  How Labour took power and what they're doing with it 
  'Taken As Red stands out for its balance and the depth of its reporting' The Guardian 
  'Revelatory and insightful.' Tim Shipman 
  In Taken As Red acclaimed political journalist Anushka Asthana takes us behind the scenes of the 2024 general election campaign. 
  As the political landscape undergoes a seismic shift, this gripping account provides an unprecedented insider’s perspective on the inner workings of Keir Starmer’s Labour and Rishi Sunak’s Conservatives, and the events of this high-stakes electoral contest as it unfolded. 
  With unparalleled access to key players and exclusive insights, it delves into the strategic decisions, campaign dynamics and unexpected twists that defined the election. From the battle bus to the corridors of power, Asthana analyses just how the result came about. Was it evidence of Labour’s strategic brilliance or the inevitable result of a spiralling decline of trust in the Tories? And what of Reform’s role? 
  Lively, analytical and compelling, Taken As Red reveals the calculated gambles and innovative strategies at play, and the people behind them. And in doing so, it looks forward as well as back. 
  Featuring exclusive interviews with more than 100 political insiders including Rachel Reeves, Wes Streeting, Kwasi Kwarteng and Nigel Farage. 
  Asthana's Taken As Red is a riveting exploration of Britain's political landscape in the 21st century, with a focus on the campaigns and parties that shaped the 2024 general election. The book is a must-read for anyone interested in the process of elections and the history of political theory in Europe.

  An outrageous miscellany of serious and light-hearted lies, myths, untruths, fibs and fabrications that tells the tall tale of South Africa.
  The fibs come thick and fast, like a burst sewerage pipe:
  • Why everything we've learnt about Shaka Zulu, 'Africa's Napoleon', is a pack of lies.
  • Back in the darkest of ages (the 1970s!), citizens were told that there were satanic messages if you played some of The Beatles songs backwards.
  • National icon Hansie Cronje was a paragon of virtue, and integrity … until he wasn't.
  • President Nelson Mandela told us that we, as a nation, were 'special'. Turns out we aren't.
  Whether a fabulous fib, an artful con, a doctor's spin, or simply a bald-faced lie, there's something for everyone.

  What In God's Name Are We Doing?...

  What In God's Name Are We Doing? is a direct and uncompromising examination of modern society and the systems that shape our lives. Drawing from philosophy, spirituality, lived experience, and practical observation, this book challenges the assumptions we take for granted about government, education, work, money, mental health, and our relationship with nature. 
  Rather than arguing from political allegiance or ideology, it asks a more fundamental question: how did we build a world that feels increasingly disconnected from purpose, meaning, and one another? The book explores how division, hierarchy, and the pursuit of money have come to dominate human life, often at the expense of quality, community, and well-being. 
  Moving beyond critique, it invites the reader to consider a different way forward—one rooted in cooperation, simplicity, durability, and respect for natural systems. Without calling for violence, revolution, or authority, it focuses on internal change, shared values, and practical shifts in how we live and build our world. 
  This book is for readers who are willing to question deeply held assumptions, think beyond partisan narratives, and ask what it would mean to live in alignment with purpose, responsibility, and love.

  The first full reappraisal of one of Britain's great fighter aces, this book examines the truth behind Tuck's 1956 biography, Fly for Your Life. It looks at the evidence behind the myths, checks out some of the exaggerated stories and reveals the real Stanford Tuck. In January 1942 Bob Tuck was the top-scoring British fighter ace with an official score of twenty-nine enemy aircraft destroyed. During the Battle of Britain his legendary prowess grew and he was posted to command a leaderless and demoralized squadron, this time flying Hurricanes. He continued to prove he was an outstanding fighter ace, gaining the rare distinction of three DFCs and then the DSO for his leadership. He was shot down over France in January 1942. In January 1944 however, around twenty POWs, including Tuck, were purged to a new camp. Still determined to escape, Tuck and a Polish officer took a risky chance and made their way east to Russian forces and thence to England. This book reveals a more complex man than the one-dimensional hero of the previous biography. Post war, he became good friends with the Luftwaffe ace, Adolf Galland, and was a key advisor with him on the film Battle of Britain, and, often made many media appearances. His health suffered in later years from the impact of his war service and his imprisonment and he died aged seventy in 1987.
