Get In is the definitive behind-the-scenes account of Labour's brutal reinvention and dramatic return to power. Written by Tim Shipman, the book offers a comprehensive exploration of the most significant and ruthless political transformation in a generation. At its heart is Morgan McSweeney, a mastermind of political subterfuge and author of a strategy to eviscerate the party, bury the left, and rebuild it as a vote-winning machine. Drawing on unrivaled access throughout the party and extensive leaks of internal party documents and WhatsApp messages, Get In shows how together they betrayed and marginalized Corbyn and his followers, then forged a path in which promises and, at times, principles were readily discarded in pursuit of power. Richly peopled with the major figures of Labour present and past, this is the coming-of-age story of Britain's government. In an era in which faith in politics has plummeted, this is how to game your way to the ultimate prize. But what on earth do you do when you get there?
