Book description
Mark Seddon is best known in Britain as a leading member of the
Awkward Squad, a thorn in the flesh of New Labour as editor of
Tribune, house magazine of the Left, for over a decade. In that role
and as a member of Labour's National Executive Committee, he scurried
around the corridors of power, gaining a unique perspective on the
activities of Blair, Brown and Mandelson - and of less familiar
figures who played their part in the story of New Labour. Standing for
Something is the record of an unusual political life played out on an
international stage.
Mark Seddon edited Tribune for thirteen years. He has written
for The Guardian, The Times, Independent, Daily Mail, Spectator, New
Statesman, Private Eye, and many others.
