Speaking Out: Lessons in Life and Politics,Ed Balls

On offer is a hand signed hardback 1st edition 1st impression autobiography of Labour Politician Ed Balls\n\nSynopsis\n\n\""Witty, reflective and engaging\"". (Nick Robinson). \""Honest and \nrevealing\"". (Michael Palin). \""Fascinating, heartfelt\"". (Kay Burley). \n\""Insightful, funny, unexpectedly moving\"". (Jonathan Freedland). On the \nnight of 7 May 2015, Ed Balls thought there was a chance he would wake \nup the next morning as the new Chancellor of the Exchequer. Instead, he \nwoke up without a job. For two decades he had occupied a central \nposition within Labour, rising from adviser to Cabinet Minister during \nthe years in power, and Shadow Chancellor in Opposition. Throughout one \nof the most tumultuous periods in recent British history, he made a \npoint of speaking out, whatever the consequences. But on that May \nmorning he was silenced. Speaking Out is a record of a life in politics,\n but also much more. It is about how power can be used for good, and the\n lesson.
