Crammed with vivid pen portraits of\nsome of the most influential political figures of our age, this wry and\nincisive memoir also reflects candidly on the changes that have taken place in\nthe UK during Mark's lifetime.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eRecognising\nthat his has been a golden generation that has benefited from a range of\nopportunities now denied to younger Britons, Mark emphasises how our\nunrealistic sense of exceptionalism risks holding us back from the urgent reform\nnow needed in so many of our institutions. Above all, he argues that post-Brexit,\nit is the Conservative Party's failure to ensure we take responsibility for our\nown fate that has led to its rapid decline and fall.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Biteback Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54249700917592,"sku":"9781785909757","price":31.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9781785909757_285efc99-2eed-470b-aa9f-303b8dc964c4.jpg?v=1777878918","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/end-of-an-era-5","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
