Emily Robinson was joined by a host of eminent figures, including Jon Cruddas MP and Prof. Patrick Wright, to launch her new title History, heritageand tradition in contemporary British politics at The House of Lords last week.
Both Jon Cruddas MP and Prof. Patrick Wright (Kings College London) gave speeches to mark the launch of this groundbreaking title, while Mary Riddell from the Daily Telegraph acted as an excellent chair to proceedings.
We’re also grateful to The Primrose Hill Bookshop, who set up a bookstand at the event selling copies of the book to guests.
