Ed Miliband is Shadow Secretary of State of Climate Change and Net Zero, having been Leader of the Labour Party (2010-2015) and Climate Change Secretary (2008-2010). Since 2017 Ed has captured the imagination of millions with his award-winning podcast Reasons to Be Cheerful, in which he explores the ideas, people and movements solving the challenges facing societies all around the world. In Go Big, he presents an inspiring array of real solutions to the toughest and most urgent of these problems, and argues that the key to success is to raise our sights and think big.
A new book by Mr Miliband is an important political event ...
mounts a coherent challenge to orthodox views, encouraging his
audience to think differently and laying the foundations of where
the country needs to go ... Miliband is clear that we live in an
age where it is movements of people, not politicians, that change
the world
*Guardian*
Full of ambitious ideas about how to solve gigantic social issues
such as working life, childcare and climate change ... This flawed,
funny Miliband sparkles with an Alan Partridge-like flourish
through Go Big ... Miliband never sounds angry. He doesn't even
seem to get annoyed when the Tories steal his ideas
*GQ*
At a time when our problems seem insurmountable and our
disagreements intractable, Ed Miliband gives us reasons to be
hopeful. This book makes a compelling case we need to hear: if we
are willing to think big, politics can be a force for change and a
force for good
*MICHAEL J. SANDEL, author of The Tyranny of Merit*
There's a lot of good stuff in here ... flashes of insight ... neat
observations ... it is hard to disagree with much of what [he says]
... charmingly self-deprecating
*Sunday Times*
By turns bouncy, chatty and confidential, and above all
relentlessly upbeat ... fully of ideas, nifty schemes for solving
the climate crisis, sound stratagems for encouraging more and
better housing, for revitalising public transport, for loosening
the stranglehold of the market and a whole lot more besides
*Private Eye*
