The writings of this Observer journalist were new to me before reading this collection but I enjoyed them a great deal. His light touch and skilful analysis in pointing out the hypocrisy and the double standards of 'New Labour' since its coming to power were not only amusing but, with the help of hindsight, very accurate (for example in his analysis of the 'Blair's Babes' photograph). Dissenting labour journalism at its incisive and honest best.
