Vernon Bogdanor – Making the Weather: Six Politicians Who Changed Modern Britain

26 April | 13.00

 

Making the Weather is the story of six post-war politicians, all of whom exerted an outsized influence on the political life of the UK.

Six post-war politicians, all of whom exerted an outsized influence on the political life of the UK but never led the country – despite shaping the national politics more than most Prime Ministers. Aneurin ‘Nye’ Bevan, Roy Jenkins, Tony Benn, Enoch Powell, Keith Joseph and Nigel Farage. Each man achieved such prominence and influence despite not being the leader (yet) – how? And what next, for the one person who might yet still become UK Prime Minister?
