Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. What are the political realities of policy-making inside Downing Street? This fascinating account of the premierships of Harold Wilson and James Callaghan provides a new insight into the conduct of the government in Britain. It is written with both the personal knowledge of an insider who worked at senior level in No. 10 and the authority of an academic who for many years has taught and studied British politics and central government in universities on both sides of the Atlantic. It gives a vivid picture of the interplay of personalities and style, in Cabinet and among Whitehall mandarins and their network of advisers, that startlingly documents the real world behind 'Yes, Prime Minister'. Bernard Donoughue charts Britain's progress through the dramas, the triumphs and the disasters of the 1970s. He analyses the problems which daunted governments of the day - and the policy solutions which were tried and found wanting. The nature of Prime Ministerial power is examined and the widely differing styles of the last two Labour Prime Ministers are contrasted with that of their successor, Margaret Thatcher, posing the question: has Cabinet government given way in the 1980s to Prime Ministerial government? As Senior Policy Adviser to the Prime Minster and founder and Head of the Downing Street Policy Unit, the author enjoyed a unique view from the summit as Britain staggered from oil crisis to incomes policy and the Social Contract, from inflation to IMF loans and the Winter of Discontent. Unemployment, militant trade unions, Ireland and the EEC all ring through these pages, as they do in newspapers today, while the institutions at the heart of British Government are scrutinised and laid bare. Enlivened by personal experience, this highly readable document of our time is at once essential for any student of British politics and a revealing guide for those who wish to know what actually happens once they have exercised their right to vote.

Paperback. Zustand: Fair. With a Foreword by his grandson, Peter Mandelson, this book tells the inspiring story of how 'the chirpy cockney sparrow' and young socialist agitator from Lambeth rose to rule London as Britain's most famous city boss and then, nationally, shaped the Labour Party's policies and directed its successful electoral strategies. In a succession of important Cabinet posts, he shared the catastrophe of Ramsay MacDonald's 1931 Government, was Churchill's inspired choice to fight the German blitz throughout the war, managed Labour's great post-1945 reconstruction programme and ended his career overwhelmed by problems and seemingly inexplicable failures as Foreign Secretary. As Peter Mandelson says in his Foreword:'Morrison is one of Labour's forgotten heroes.the quintessential political organiser.Writing this Foreword nearly four years into what I hope and believe will be the first term of a long period of Labour government, this is the essential Morrison maxim we must never ignore: delivery and renewal must go hand in hand. That Labour had finally learned the lessons of his own life would give my grandfather great joy. And for me it would b his finest memorial.'.…

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. Bernard Donoughue has laboured in the heat of the political kitchen for three decades. As senior policy adviser at 10 Downing Street to Harold Wilson and then to his successor James Callaghan, and later an agriculture minister in Tony Blair's first government, he has been a potent influence on policy and has enjoyed a ringside seat through some of the most turbulent political events of the late twentieth century. His autobiography tells of how he overcame a poverty-ridden and frequently disrupted childhood in Northamptonshire to win a scholarship to Oxford; and how after becoming increasingly involved in politics while working in journalism and academia he was invited into Harold Wilson's inner circle popularly known as "the kitchen cabinet". The book describes how he founded the 10 Downing Street Policy Unit, bringing into the heart of government some of the keenest brains in the country and transforming then nature of the Prime Ministerial role; how he coped with life in Number 10 with the combative Joe Haines and the volatile Marcia Williams; and how he left politics after James Callaghan's defeat at the hands of Margaret Thatcher in 1979 for even more turbulent times with Rupert Murdoch and Robert Maxwell. Also covered is how in 1997 he was brought into Tony Blair's first government as agriculture minister in the House of Lords. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.…

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. As New Labour's first period of government picks up steam, we find Bernard Donoughue working as a minister at the Ministry of Agriculture, Fishing and Food. In this, the second volume of Donoughue's House of Lords diaries, he chronicles his experiences - often frustrating, often hilarious - serving in the early years of Blair's government, as he attempts to modernise MAFF by expanding its interests more broadly in rural affairs. It outlines Donoughue's role in the EU's agricultural policy, including as the UK minister at the Agriculture Council as well as his unofficial role in the lead-up to the Good Friday agreement. As with all Donoughue's diaries, the book sheds a spotlight on the daily trials and tribulations of life in Westminster, told with trademark waspish wit, insight and humour.

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. Early in 1974, Bernard Donoughue, a young academic at the London School of Economics, was invited by Harold Wilson first to help fight the General Election and then to found and run the Policy Unit at Number Ten Downing Street, a body independent of the Civil Service machine working solely for the Prime Minister. He thus joined Wilson's notorious 'kitchen cabinet' with Joe Haines, Wilson's combative press secretary, and Marcia Williams, Wilson's personal and private secretary. Donoughue remained in Downing Street throughout Wilson's final premiership and was at the centre of events during this crucial period of history. His diary, kept every day, provides an extraordinarily intimate portrait of Harold Wilson, struggling to hold the Labour Party together, drinking heavily, increasingly paranoid about 'plots' and the press, and apparently in thrall to Marcia Williams. Williams had an extraordinary hold over the Prime Minister and violently resented 'intrusion' from any other advisors, Donoughue included. Though the story of Wilson's 'kitchen cabinet' has been told before, there has never been an account as intimate and explosive as this remarkable diary. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.…
