“I’m in it to win. That’s my attitude to life and to politics.”—Neil Kinnock, December 1989 Defeat from the Jaws of Victory takes the reader behind closed doors to witness Kinnock’s Labour hierarchy in action—fixing votes, stage-managing meetings, dispensing patronage to favourites and settling scores with enemies. Riding high on the backlash against the Bennite rebellion of the early 1980s, Kinnock went on to build the most autocratic regime in Labour’s history. Centralizing power in a vastly expanded private office, he destroyed the party’s democratic structures, stripped it of any trace of radical policy, and purged it of hundreds of dissident members. Every nook and cranny of the Labour machine was filled with careerists whose primary qualification was personal loyalty to their leader. Under Kinnock’s aegis the party ran up a £2.5 million overdraft, and proved incapable of removing an unpopular Tory government in the midst of the worst recession since the war. Heffernan and Marqusee employ extensive research in Labour’s archives and interviews with leading MPs, party employees and constituency members to chronicle, with unsparing accuracy, a decade-long drive for power which was ruthless, reactionary and, in the final analysis, spectacularly unsuccessful.

"Defeat from the Jaws of Victory" takes the reader behind closed doors to witness the Labour Party hierarchy in action - rigging votes, stage-managing meetings, dispensing patronage to favourites, and settling scores with enemies. Riding high on the backlash against the Bennite rebellion of the early 1980s, Neil Kinnock built the most autocratic regime in Labour's history. Centralizing power in his private office, he destroyed the Party's democratic structures, stripped it of anti-establishment policies and purged it of radical members whilst allowing a new careerist clique to install itself in every nook and cranny of the Labour machine. Under his aegis the party lost tens of thousands of members, ran up a #2.5million overdraft and proved incapable of removing an unpopular Tory government, even in the midst of the worst recession since the War. Using extensive research in Labour's archives, interviews with shadow cabinet members, Labour Party employees and rank and the file activitists, "Defeat from the Jaws of Victory" is packed with hitherto untold stories, revealing anecdotes, and concise analysis.
