Change - The Independent Group

In February 2019, five Members of Parliament Ann Coffey, Anna Soubry, Chris Leslie, Joan Ryan, and Mike Gapes left the political parties they had belonged to for decades to form a new party. This book based on hours of interviews charts the process by which each of them came to make such a momentous and life-changing decision. None of them regrets their actions, and they would do the same again. 'The actions of the five Members of Parliament are a challenge to a party system which instead of protecting against extremism, can become the vehicle for it.' - Peter McNab
