A titan of British politics shares stories from his fascinating career. David reminisces about Roy Jenkins, Shirley Williams and Margaret Thatcher, but also delivers sharp political analysis about Keir Starmer, Boris Johnson, Jeremy Corbyn and Brexit. Oh and explains the differences between The Gang of Four and The Independent Group. As well as founding and leading the SDP, David served as Foreign Secretary under James Callaghan... at the age of 38! His insights on the international stage, include brilliant stories about his encounters with Ronald Reagan, Robert Mugabe and Slobodan Milosevic. This is exceptional from start to finish.
