Steinar Suvatne and Jørgen Gilbrant are behind the book “THE PARTY An insider’s report on the fall of the Labor Party”. Now several Ap politicians are coming out hard against the book. Among others, parliamentary representative Bjørnar Skjæran from Nordland. Among other things, Skjæran believes that it is completely wrong that he wore a silver chain and takes a solarium. Noko Skjæran thinks that the worst part is what is written about him in the new book. – I have never done that! Steel works for me. Norwegian steel with a small compass! Incidentally, I don’t take solariums, he wrote in a post on Facebook on Friday evening. news has spoken to Skjæran. He does not wish to be interviewed about the matter, but agrees with what he has written on his politician page on Facebook. Dagbladet journalist Steinar Suvatne is one of the authors of the book.

He smoked, wore a silver chain around his solarium-tanned neck, and was a part-time farmer. He posted pictures on Facebook of him driving a tractor. Skjæran was both jovial and nice, someone who threw a party and liked to pull robber stories in a merry band. He had also been on the central board for many years and knew the party well.” In the book, it is also claimed that Skjæran saw himself as a possible candidate to become the new prime minister after Støre. Some party secretary Kjersti Stenseng is said to have rejected as soon as it was mentioned in a meeting. – Both parts are free poetry. I have never had – and have never expressed – such ambitions, writes Skjæran. Claims the book is frivolous Skjæran also writes about the Prime Minister’s claims: – The fact that no one has put forward to me the allegation of such a meaningless statement from me before the book went to press must also be some of the most frivolous “authorship” I have experienced. The two authors of the book have not been available to comment on Skjæran’s claims on Friday evening. Skjæran also admits that he has not read the book, but he is not gracious. – Take a weekend, and let “mainnsjit” be “mainnsjit”! The book about the Labor Party is based, among other things, on conversations with 70 anonymous sources. The book is about the inner life of the Labor Party in recent years.

He writes on Facebook that he has received a message from the publisher Gyldendal that they will correct the error. The publisher replies that they will correct this in new editions of the book. – In this case, Lars Joakim Skarvøy has made us aware of some errors and inconsistencies and these will of course be corrected. This is what Reidar Mide Solberg, publishing manager for non-fiction in Gyldendal, tells news. The Labor leader is said to have survived a coup attempt by his own, according to a new book.
