Lady Valerie Cocks’ memoir From Brick Lane to The House of Lords is a story of resilience, love, and unwavering conviction. It traces a remarkable journey from the East End of London to the heart of political life in Westminster.

At the centre of the book is a love story — her marriage to Lord Michael Cocks, Labour Chief Whip and later a member of the House of Lords — alongside the story of her own lifelong beliefs.

A proud Zionist and former Director of Labour Friends of Israel, Lady Valerie dedicated her life to building bridges, speaking out against antisemitism, and advocating for the Jewish state with dignity and strength.
