Having lost an election, been thrown out by their party, or retired
on grounds of ill-health, what do former British prime ministers
do? In the first book to look at the lives, political roles and
influence of former prime ministers, Kevin Theakston offers a
comprehensive analysis of all the former prime ministers from
Robert Walpole in the 18th century to Tony Blair today. This lively
and informative book will appeal to those interested in British
history as well as in contemporary politics. "You are very ex as an
ex-prime minister," it has been said. "The telephone goes and
immediately you think, Oh goodness me, the United Nations is
sitting," Margaret Thatcher admitted. "Then you realize that it's
no longer you any more." Some former prime ministers fade into the
background, but others have continued to play a significant role in
politics - sometimes constructively, but sometimes quite the
reverse. Some enhance their reputations after they leave Number 10,
but others damaged their reputations badly. This book sheds new
light on the people who have held the highest office in British
government.
