Where Did I Go Right?

Comedian Geoff Norcott should have been Labour through and through. He grew up on a South London council estate where they filmed scenes for The Bill, both of his parents were disabled, and his dad was a union man.

So, how was it that he ended up voting Tory?

In this funny and provocative memoir, Geoff unpicks his life’s pivotal moments and his subsequent political journey from left to right.

Experiencing events like the early ’90s recession, the credit crunch and a chance encounter with John Major, Geoff begins to have the gnawing feeling that the values he grew up with no longer match Labour’s. And, as Brexit looms, he feels even more at sea.

Written with honesty and wit, Where Did I Go Right? is a highly entertaining dissection of why the working class deserted Labour, and why blue-collared conservatism could be here to stay.
