The period between the wars was a watershed for the Labour Party as it transformed from a failed alternative to the Conservatives to a majority party of government. After a slow build-up, it went on to win a landslide victory that brought in the Attlee government of 1945. Labour inside the Gate is the first study dedicated to this period in Labour's development. In this comprehensive history, Worley examines the parliamentary Labour Party and the growing network of constituency parties. He explores Labour's shifting identity at a national and local level and the evolution of a party policy that would drive the historic Attlee government into office.

TES: Book of the Week "...a compelling guide to the politics, feuds and embedded hatreds that now characterise our national church...(told)...with asperity and wit." Times Literary Supplement "an impressive piece of journalism...well informed, anecdotal, highly readable, sharp, sometimes unfair, gently mocking where mockery is deserved." The Independent "What Bates's book lays bare is that this is a dispute not about sex but power...compulsive as well as comprehensive." The Observer "brilliant overview of the current crisis engulfing the church...impressive reporting skills." The Sunday Times "For anyone with the vaguest interest in religion this is required reading, but Bates has also made the story compelling for the uncommitted." '...a timely reminder of the democratic political struggles that could reanimate Labour' Mike Davis, The Chartist, November/December 2005 '...a comprehensive and well-researched analysis of the party's evolution and development during a formative period in its history...'Contemporary Review, November 2005.
