I have been obsessed by politics since 1974 when  I put Liberal Party stickers on cars and lamp posts as a 12-year-old. By the time of the 1979 election I had joined the Labour Party Young Socialists and believed working-class people had everything to gain from socialism. The only problem was they didn’t agree with me. I would learn later that politics isn't all it seems at seventeen.

Later in life I surprised myself by becoming an entrepreneur. I co-founded three companies: BuzzSumo, Anders Pink & Kineo. I think it is an under-appreciated fact that teenage Trotskyists make great entrepreneurs. Trying to sell copies of Militant that say 'smash the capitalist system' outside of M&S is better than any sales training course.

In 2018 I went back to university full-time as an MSc politics student at the London School of Economics. Since then I have devoted myself to political research and writing. 

My first book The Fall of the Red Wall became an Amazon bestseller in 2020. My second book Badgeland was a memoir about coming of age, politics, class and social mobility in the 1980s. My upcoming third book, Collapse of the Conservatives is about the collapse of the Conservative Party.
