This book was released on 2021-07-28. Lobby Life available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. The unassuming brown laminated card issued to Westminster lobby journalists is a VIP pass to the heart of our political world, allowing reporters to roam the corridors of power, to collar MPs for a private word. As a Political Correspondent for the BBC, Carole Walker was a member of this exclusive club for more than twenty years, attending hundreds of Lobby briefings with a front-row seat for Alastair Campbell's The Thick of It-style pronouncements and hanging out with a succession of prime ministers - always with an eye on the story. Drawing on interviews with former colleagues, politicians, spin doctors and critics of the system, as well as first-hand insight, Lobby Life tells the intriguing story of this highly secretive British institution from its conception to the present day. It exposes the battles at Downing Street to control the news agenda, including during some of most momentous stories in recent history. Through general elections, industrial strife, the EU referendum and the rise and fall of decades of governments, we witness the behind-the-scenes deals, the drama and debate, the resignations and the rows. In this no-holds-barred account of what really happens behind the closed doors of Westminster, Walker asks urgent questions about the role of the press today, when politicians can engage directly with voters via social media, bypassing journalists - and accountability. This book will intrigue anyone who wants to understand a political system that seeks to shape how and where we consume our news, and to influence who and what we believe.

Indian Americans own about half of all the motels in the United States. Even more remarkable, most of these motel owners come from the same region in India and—although they are not all related—seventy percent of them share the surname of Patel. Most of these motel owners arrived in the United States with few resources and, broadly speaking, they are self-employed, self-sufficient immigrants who have become successful—they live the American dream. However, framing this group as embodying the American dream has profound implications. It perpetuates the idea of American exceptionalism—that this nation creates opportunities for newcomers unattainable elsewhere—and also downplays the inequalities of race, gender, culture, and globalization immigrants continue to face. Despite their dominance in the motel industry, Indian American moteliers are concentrated in lower- and mid-budget markets. Life Behind the Lobby explains Indian Americans' simultaneous accomplishments and marginalization and takes a close look at their own role in sustaining that duality.
