“The clue to our future lies in our past and Toye has winkled it out with elegant and devastating precision.” Chris Bryant, MP for RhonddaWAS THE ATTLEE GOVERNMENT OF 1945 REALLY THE GOLDEN PERIOD OF LABOUR POWER?2024 marks the centenary of the first Labour government under Ramsay MacDonald. What legacy of the past have they left behind? How far has each Labour administration influenced succeeding administrations? Above all, was the Attlee government of 1945 really the golden period of Labour power?Professor Richard Toye explores Labour’s exercise of power as a continuum, setting Attlee’s administration in long-term historical context between the first Labour Government of 1924 and the current party under Keir Starmer. Within this context he shows why the Attlee administration matters so much and how successive Labour governments have fashioned it in their own image.

Into this story are woven the foundation of the Labour Party in 1900, the First World War, the General Strike of 1926, the Spanish Civil War and the coalition war-time government under Churchill. Also discussed are the great names of Labour history: Ramsay MacDonald, Clement Attlee himself, Ernest Bevin, Aneurin Bevan, Hugh Gaitskell, Harold Wilson and Ellen Wilkinson.

Covering Labour's history all the way up to the present - including Wilson and Blair's attempts to wrap themselves in Attlee’s mantle and Corbyn’s version of Attlee focused on the NHS and the welfare state - Age of Hope is an incisive, informative look at a political party that has been fundamental in shaping modern Britain and will be equally instrumental in its future.

Adorable and useful!
Format: Kindle
Great for early language and sounds. As a mom and a special education teacher I love this book. Very sweet and enjoyable for a little one. But most importantly, written by a speech pathologist with all of the so important early sounds.

Great book for pre reading skills and communication, but poor quality, especially for price
Format: Board book, Format: Board book
My 2 year old grandson loves this book. He has memorized the words from each page and loves to point to different things on each page, when asked, and add his own commentary like “puppy is sleeping”. The only reason for minus 1 star is quality of book. Even though it’s a board book, the pages are peeling. Almost took 2 stars off, but it’s a really good book. However, I’m not sure what good it will be when the pictures peel off the page and we have no content to read. I would like seller to contact me re: book falling apart.

The Pup That Educates
Format: Board book
This is a wonderful teaching aid. It is direct in presenting age appropriate words in an exciting way. It also helps chidren learn to use visual clues as they recall basic vocabulary. Illustrations of emotional response are also heartwarming! You can't help loving this Puppy and his family!
