Iain Dale & Steve Richards – Margaret Thatcher & Tony Blair

Margaret Thatcher was Iain Dale’s childhood heroine and the woman who inspired him into politics. In his book, he offers an intelligent and challenging look at the Iron Lady on the 100th anniversary of her birth. Likewise, Steve Richards casts new light on Tony Blair, the man and his legacy. Was all that he achieved overshadowed by the Iraq war, his rivalry with Brown and the dominance of Margaret Thatcher? A lively conversation about these two at once influential and controversial prime ministers of our time.

in conversation with Howard Davies
