Chris Mullen with Alan Johnson

A unique pairing of political insight and perspective as two former Labour ministers meet. No longer in the tent, but not quite out of it, former minister and celebrated diarist Chris Mullin gives his take on the 12 turbulent years since he left parliament, recounting events from the fall of New Labour to the death of the Queen with his trademark wit and a keen eye for the absurd. Chris Mullin will be in conversation with parliamentary colleague, former home secretary and award-winning writer Alan Johnson, who will recount stories from his own time as an MP.
