Anderson is co-author with Nyta Mann of Safety First: The Making of New Labour (1997),[3] an analysis of how the changes made by Neil Kinnock to Labour Party policies led to the development of New Labour under Tony Blair and Gordon Brown.[4][5][1][6] In a review in The Guardian the Labour MP Roy Hattersley praised Safety First for its detailed coverage of such issues as John Prescott's transformation of ministerial governing, and the Party's "Euro- keynesianism," calling it the "best" book on New Labour.[4] Anderson is also editor of Orwell in Tribune: "As I Please" and Other Writings (2006).[7][8]
