It was a fascinating discussion with a panel of unrivalled insight! So glad you enjoyed it too!
It was a privilege to hear from Tony Blair's Downing Street policy team that defined the 1997 Labour Government. Invaluable reflections from Robert Hill, PM Political Secretary, Liz Lloyd CBE Deputy Chief of Staff at the time and Rt. Hon. James Purnell SPAD, later Labour MP and Cabinet Minister.
