The former Prime Minister, Gordon Brown, will talk about a remarkable 40 years on the political frontline.
Join us for this event to celebrate the release of his forthcoming memoir, My Life, Our Times, which reflects candidly on an extraordinary career; from New Labour’s 1997 landslide electoral victory, to the 2008 global financial crisis and the historic 2014 Scottish and 2016 European referenda.
