Didn't You Used To Be Chris Mullin?

Didn't You Used To Be Chris Mullin? Synopsis

When Chris Mullin retired from parliament in April 2010, he stopped keeping a diary on the assumption that life would no longer be of sufficient interest to do so. It soon became apparent that this assumption was utterly wrong. Before long, life resumed its characteristic intensity as he bounced from literary festivals to political dinners all over the country. (Of course, he couldn't stay out of politics.) He visits - amongst other places - the Palace of Westminster to catch up with old friends and former movers and shakers, debating the most explosive events of the decade with the players at their centre. From judging the 2011 Man Booker to Jeremy Corbyn skyrocketing demand for A Very British Coup, this past decade has been what Mullin's old friend Tony Benn would have called a blaze of autumn sunshine. Highly entertaining, ruminative, and full of heart, this is the final volume in a world-class series of political memoirs.
