'...as the Labour candidate I prepared for every possible question on the local radio Election Phone-In. What I had not prepared for was my mum ringing up to say that she agreed with John O'Farrell. On EVERYTHING.' Where Did We Go Right? is the personal story of one political activist helping Labour progress from its 1997 landslide to the unassailable position it enjoys today. Along the way, he stood for Parliament against Theresa May but failed to step into her shoes; he was dropped from Tony and Cherie's Christmas card list after he revealed he always sent their card on to a friend from the SWP; and he campaigned for a new non-selective inner-city state school, then realised this meant he had to send his kids to a non-selective inner-city state school.

A funny, personal and interesting account of the years from 1997 to 2017 for a Labour supporter. Some of those times were agony to remember, others were entertaining. The ups and downs of politics are here as John O'Farrell tries to understand voters, stands as a candidate himself and mirrors politics with his campaign to open a new school. He talks about the need for compromise and caring for people. An excellent read. ( )
