Iain Dale at Stratford Literary Festival

The veteran LBC broadcaster and political commentator has led a life full of incident and success, but also had some very public failures. From nearly throwing up on Margaret Thatcher to accidentally calling the Archbishop of Canterbury something less than pious on live radio, he will discuss his unfiltered new memoir. Packed with the raw candour that has earned him 750,000 listeners a week, he will reflect on coming out aged 40, his encounters with a dozen prime ministers, and coming to terms with his thwarted political ambitions.
