Off Message - Hardcover
Bob Marshall-Andrews looks at the sombre events of the last thirteen years including wars in Kosovo and Iraq, sustained assaults on ancient English liberties, and the worst scandal of recent political history. He reveals the stories that lie behind them and the Westminster dramas of intrigue, triumph and disaster. He describes the delights and trials of his work as constituency MP and examines his own and others' motives for entering politics: should the ambition, he asks, be to achieve power or to control it. Bob Marshall-Andrews breathes new life into the old values of libertarian socialism. Off Message is as provocative and entertaining as its author's campaigns and interventions.

Book Description:
Impassioned and witty...We should be grateful for what this marvellous and monumental maverick achieved and now for this jolly book that is fiery in all the right places (Christopher Silvester Daily Express)
passionate, whimsical and highly entertaining (John Kampfner Observer)
One of the most entertaining, irreverent, and magnificently self-indulgent political memoirs to emerge from the New Labour era (Chris Mullin Times)
Tony Blair's least favourite colleague casts a mordant eye on whips and rebels, wars and liberties, spin and patronage, and expenses and legacies - and at the same time delivers a passionate message about parliament's enduring value. This subversive and richly comical account of British political life during New Labour's term in office presents an intimate picture of what it was like to be its most prominent dissident member.
