Inspirational

I have loved listening to this book spoken by Len in his own inimitable way. His delivery and performance make it seem like a conversation in your front room with an old friend. His journey from boy to man and the events that shaped him have been a fascinating insight into Red Len. I hope everyone who reads or listens to this book find inspiration and the courage and determination to carry the flame of workers solidarity forward.

Always Red - Insightful & Inspiring

Always Red, narrated by Len McCluskey gives a fascinating insight into the life of Len, the birth of Unite the Union, and behind the scenes revelations surrounding the leadership of the Labour Party, and Jeremy Corbyn’s inspiring campaign to reform the UK into a socialist ‘for the many’ society.

This book is both inspiring & inspiring.

5 Stars all around.

Great book and very well narrated

The was the first audio book that I was able to finish because I’ve struggled with some narrators who are difficult to listen to. Len’s soft soulful Scouse accent helped and also the substance within the book was really interesting . Len clearly provided vital support to the Corbyn project and is a very honourable person unlike some of the many hostile characters in the labour and trade union movement. I think this is the type of book that politically engaged people who have centre right politics could read and find interesting but would just be unreadable for those on right of the Labour Party who just find the left annoying, people who think that pragmatism is using whatever they can to smear and undermine their political opponents, even if that includes the weaponisation of racism.
I doubt Len can still understand why these people are anywhere near the Labour Party let alone running it.

inspiring and sincere

ok I admit that I'm an unreconstructed Bennite who, like Len, was thrilled when Corbyn took over as Labour leader - and deeply disappointed when the members chose Starmer and Rayner over Long Bailey and Burgoyne. Also I should own that I'm a member of Unite and consider it to be the doyen of trade unions. So I start with a prejudice in favour of the McClusky approach to industrial relations. But even if I were coming fresh to this book, innocent of left wing UK politics, I think I'd find him persuasive and honest. The book is heartfelt, open and incredibly upfront. It is the story of a woorking class man's journey from youth in and around the Liverpool docks to being the lead voice of our time for progressive politics in the UK. An incredible leap, made by a gifted, strongminded individual who has had a huge influence on working people's lives, both directly and indirectly. I agree with every word he says. Thank you Len McClusky. You are an absolute beacon of clear thinking and pungent insight . Thank you for your hard work, determination and guts. thanks, in fact, for everything.
