Prolonged Labour is a comprehensive, scholarly and balanced account of New Labour's domestic policies in its first two terms in office. It mobilizes ministerial speeches, elite interviews and policy documents, plus the best available, contemporary scholarship and political journalism, to build an accurate and full account of New Labour in power. It then subjects that record to systematic and sympathetic evaluation. Prolonged Labour is an invaluable guide to Government performance since 1997, and as such an essential tool for students and voters alike.

Reviews for Prolonged Labour: The Slow Birth of New Labour in Britain
'An excellent account of the politics and performance of the Blair administration. Rich in detail and cogently argued, the book is a major contribution to debates about the character of British social democracy. Prolonged Labour will be required reading for both students and scholars of the Labour party.' - Mark Wickham-Jones, Senior Lecturer in Politics, University of Bristol, UK
