John Sergeant is ITN's Political Editor and previously had a long career at the BBC. This memoir takes the reader from his rather curious childhood through his flirtation with show business as part of the 60s satire boom to his early years on the Liverpool Post and subsequent 30 years at the BBC.

John Major's rise through Parliament was meteoric. That is, until within months of the 1992 election, when his government was in troubled waters. In this text, John Major is honest about what he won and lost, and about friends and foes within his own party as well as outside.

This first volume of Margaret Thatcher's memoirs encompasses the whole of her time as Prime Minister - the formation of her goals in the early 1980s, the Falklands, the General Election victories of 1983 and 1987 and, eventually, the circumstances of her fall from political power.

Explores the formal powers of the Prime Minister and how each incumbent has made the job his or her own. This book describes the relative performance of each Prime Minister since 1945 and a fresh specification for the premiership as it enters its fourth century.

A personal account of a Labour supporter's miserable eighteen years under a Tory government. A literary debut which combines wit with barbed insight from the author who has been a full time comedy writer since the voters of Battersea sacked him from his previous job as an MP's researcher for the House of Commons.

Contrasting the political world of big decisions that affect millions, and the small daily judgements that shape the chances of our children, this is an insider's account of leadership - a Prime Minister and a Head Teacher. What makes someone want that kind of responsibility? And what makes them good at it.
