Tribes

Lammy writes with nuance and sensitivity and accepts the lack of easy answers. But his core message is simple. We must cooperate more, compromise more, communicate more. Only connect, but offline - Prospect

A superb book about the tribalism gripping British politics. Tribes is measured, searching, pitilessly self-scrutinising and would probably amaze anyone who knows its author only from his Twitter persona - Sunday Times

Episodes of memoir, including DNA tests, a police frisking and a death threat, enliven the Labour MP’s first-rate study of social division - Guardian

It is rich, in thought, history, anecdote and experience - The New European

The best section of the book is a sympathetic account of why people voted Brexit from a zealous Remainer MP who insists Brexit is driven by xenophobia - Evening Standard

Tribes examines how to bring together a fractious country without smothering legitimate political grievances in the process - Guardian

Absorbing analysis … thoughtful, nuanced book … this book asks the right questions - Observer

Blends memoir with shrewd analysis of the current political landscape … He interrogates subjects such

as polarisation, tribalism and identity politics with aplomb, bringing in voices from opposing backgrounds

and views … The most powerful parts of the book, though, are the explorations of his own compulsion to belong - The Independent
