Former Home Secretary Alan Johnson, postman, union leader and bestselling writer was a Labour MP for 20 years. There’s no one better placed to explore the life and achievements of the twice-elected Labour Prime Minister Harold Wilson. He brings to life his award-winning biography revealing a portrait of a truly 20th century man, whose ‘white heat’ speech heralded a technological revolution and who was as much a part of the sixties as the Beatles and the Profumo Scandal. Chaired by Jo Durrant.
