On 2nd May, 1997, Tony Blair swept into Downing Street, ending almost twenty years of Conservative government and beginning a decade as Prime Minister. Bernard Donoughue, a Labour peer in the House of Lords, chronicled the path to this momentous election victory in his diaries and this volume sheds new light on the process of forming government and on life working as a minister in the House of Lords.
Infused with Donoughue's trademark wit and insight, the diary covers daily life for a working peer―from the committees, bill discussion, and public appearances to political spats―both policy-related and personal. Donoughue also casts a wry glance at a peer's extra-curricular events―from dinners and other high-profile social events to his own favourite hobby, horse-racing. Featuring a cast of high-profile political characters, this book is a must-read for fans of political diaries and anyone with an interest in the inside workings of Westminster.
