Why Have So Many Prime Ministers Failed and Will Andy Burnham Buck the Trend - Anthony Seldon

Sir Anthony Seldon draws on decades of studying Britain's prime ministers to reveal how the nation's most consequential decisions are shaped not by detached neutrality but by the personal standpoints of those who occupy Number 10.

He explores how upbringing, temperament, values and private experience influence leadership style, crisis response and moral judgement - often far more than political theory or party doctrine.

Through vivid portraits of leaders at moments of pressure and choice, Seldon shows that understanding where a prime minister "stands" is essential for understanding the country they shape.

This insightful, humane session invites audiences to look beyond policy and rhetoric to the human perspectives driving political power, and to consider what this means for the future of British democracy.Followed by book-signing.
