Information

The distinguished former BBC correspondent has shed the need for impartiality and produced an urgent and timely exploration of a British political system in peril. He’s also suggested what we need to do to save it. Will Hutton wrote: “The most compelling, lacerating description of the Muppet Show that is British public life…from the corners of the House of Lords to the playing fields of Eton. You laugh out loud while violently agreeing- we are better than this.”
