Hot on the heels of Peter Kilfoyle's decision to stand down from his Liverpool Walton seat it has emerged that he is publishing a new book next month.

Labour Pains promises a "warts-and-all perspective on the Blair-Brown era".

"This book is intended, above all, to be honest," Kilfoyle has said. "I have no concern for reputations or careers, nor for those who have priced such ephemera beyond those principles upon which they were first selected, and then elected, to represent their constituents, the party, and the country.

The book is being published by Conservative publisher and blogger Iain Dale, who writes about it HERE.
