The End of an Era: The Decline and Fall of the Tory Party
by Mark Field
€ 24.99
ISBN: 9781785909757
During
nearly two decades in the adrenaline-filled, egotistical and stressful world of
Parliament, Mark Field had a remarkable capacity for getting into high-profile
scrapes - most famously in his close friendship with future Prime Minister Liz
Truss, his role in David Cameron's Piggate scandal and his skirmish with protesters
at Mansion House.
From
his first foray into student politics at Oxford, where he got to know David Miliband,
Jeremy Hunt, Michael Gove and Keir Starmer, to his years as a Foreign Office
Minister alongside Boris Johnson and Rory Stewart, Mark casts an unsparing eye
over forty years of British political life. Crammed with vivid pen portraits of
some of the most influential political figures of our age, this wry and
incisive memoir also reflects candidly on the changes that have taken place in
the UK during Mark's lifetime.
Recognising
that his has been a golden generation that has benefited from a range of
opportunities now denied to younger Britons, Mark emphasises how our
unrealistic sense of exceptionalism risks holding us back from the urgent reform
now needed in so many of our institutions. Above all, he argues that post-Brexit,
it is the Conservative Party's failure to ensure we take responsibility for our
own fate that has led to its rapid decline and fall.
