Charles Clarke at Henley Literary Fesival

Former Home Secretary and Education Secretary, Charles has co-authored two books: British Conservative Leaders and British Labour Leaders. He worked closely with Neil Kinnock and served on the front bench through most of Tony Blair’s premiership, but proved a fierce critic of both Gordon Brown and Ed Miliband – so it will be interesting to hear his take on Labour’s newest leader, elected just weeks earlier. He joins us in party conference season to discuss the best (and worst) leaders from either side of the Commons.
