One of the most important and compelling books I've ever read, "Now We Have Your Attention" by Owen Jones offers a radically different perspective on what is happening in British politics. By taking a closer look at the lives of ordinary individuals, Jack Shenker uncovers the root causes of our current crisis and the future direction of British politics.

From a warehouse in Manchester to a pub in Essex, from the outskirts of Glasgow to a racecourse in Durham, Shenker explores the impact of austerity and decades of economic disadvantage on communities. He shows how disillusionment with the chaos at Westminster is fueling a passionate engagement with politics of a different kind: local, personal, effective, and fearless.

Through his exceptional access to campaign groups, activist movements, and grassroots gatherings, Shenker introduces us to the citizens and leaders of tomorrow. He meets McStrike protesters on a roundabout in Cambridge, London Renters Union members in the aftermath of Grenfell, hard-right bloggers in Newcastle, and climate change protesters in Brighton. He draws on this unique access to introduce us to the people who are changing things for themselves.

Inspiring and terrifying in equal measure, "Now We Have Your Attention" uncovers a revolutionary transformation in attitudes and behavior, and a future that will shape us all. It is a must-read for anyone who wants to understand the current political landscape and the challenges we face as a nation.
