Rezensionen

'As well as being very well written, Baldwin obtained considerable access and he presents a compelling picture of what Starmer is like, and in particular how he was brought up. If you admire Starmer, you should definitely read it. And if you don't like him, you should read it anyway, because he could be PM for the next 10 years and it may be a very long time before anyone produces a better or fairer account of what makes him tick'

ANDREW SPARROW, GUARDIAN

'The access is so comprehensive and his subject so uncharacteristically candid that exploring this private world can almost feel prurient... At times it is unclear whether Starmer grasps the significance of what he has done in cooperating with this biography'

PATRICK MAGUIRE, THE TIMES

'Told with sensitivity and simplicity... The picture painted of Sir Keir's motivations and make-up is skillfully done, with all the nuance kept in'

BEN RILEY-SMITH, DAILY TELEGRAPH

'A fair minded, unflashy biography...[of] our next serious Prime Minister. Watch this space. Attlee may have some competition'

ROBERT MCCRUM, INDEPENDENT

'A highly informative, illuminating and insightful biography... the most complete portrait we have yet been offered'
