SHORTLISTED FOR BEST NON-FICTION BOOK BY A PARLIAMENTARIAN AT THE PARLIAMENTARY BOOK AWARDS 2021

'Read this book!' Caroline Lucas

'My money's on Magid.' Thandie Newton
"Thou shalt not ignore this book. Magid is magic!" - Jarvis Cocker
'A man so inspiring you will have no choice but to cast your hopeless lethargy asunder' - Rufus Hound

A guide to being courageous and community-minded, and to disrupting and dismantling age-old power structures in work, life and politics, written by someone who has done exactly that.

Let's be honest. Magid Magid's story seems an unlikely one. He's a Somali-born black Muslim refugee who became the youngest ever Lord Mayor of Sheffield and one of the last UK MEPs. Magid has made headlines nationally and internationally for his creative ways of campaigning while not conforming to tradition and being unapologetically himself.

Magid had no idea that the poster he dreamed up for a local music festival in 2018 would go viral. The poster contained the 10 commandments he tries to live by. He had no idea that this poster would come to represent a movement that has swept him to the heart of local and European establishment politics. Now, for the first time, he reveals the stories behind each of these 'commandments'; what drives him, the obstacles he overcame and what makes him hopeful.

'His voice and representation are inspirational and a force to reckon with.' Dr Shola Mos-Shogbamimu, lawyer, activist and author

'It's easy to problematise the world, but Magid has offered us answers , solutions and even the possibility of a new politics.' Jon McClure, lead singer of Reverend and The Makers

'Magid's book could not be more timely. A must read for anyone who wants to change the world.' Chunky Mark, The Artist Taxi Driver Environment Politics & Government Science

An exciting, emotional and empowering journey that cannot but leave you inspired! Magid shows us not just how each and everyone one can make the world a better place, but why we have to as well. He masterfully blends hilarious anecdotes with practical steps to make your mark on society. This book has something for everyone, especially for those who think their voice doesn't matter or who feel that the system is too broke. Highly recommend!

An antidote to our broken politics!

went to Sheffield because of Magid for University. I'm a massive fan not necessary in regards of policy in which he have implemented but because of the way that you've done it. with love and honesty. I do not necessarily agree with you politically but. I wholeheartedly love what you're doing. and hope to one day spread the hope and love in which you are in my own little way.
