Jeremy Corbyn, the left-wing Member of the House of Commons of the United Kingdom for Islington North since 1983 announced his candidacy for the 2015 Labour Party leadership election.

He struggled to obtain the required nominations from fellow MPs[1] and was initially seen as a fringe candidate and an outsider.

It was authored by Rosa Prince, a journalist with the Conservative and right-wing newspaper The Daily Telegraph.

The book also examines his early life in rural Shropshire, his support for contentious causes such as Palestinian freedom and a peace process in Northern Ireland.

Williams was critical of the gossip and lack of serious political analysis, noting that instead a former "remote associate" was quoted claiming Corbyn's flat was "an absolute tip".

Williams did praise the more objective analysis of Corbyn's support for causes in Northern Ireland and Palestine.
