Chance Witness by Matthew Parris - a hilarious and fascinating
portrait of life in politics, from Thatcher to Blair Winner of the
Channel 4 / Politico's Political Book of the Year Award 'Made me
laugh out loud. A book full of wisdom' Simon Hoggart, Guardian In
this surprising and eccentric autobiography from a former
Conservative MP, Matthew Parris writes of his personal and
political life with equal candour. With a First from Cambridge and
the possibility of working for the Foreign Office, he decided
instead to apply to be an apprentice diesel-fitter with London
Transport. He was rejected and so turned to a life in politics. He
has worked with Margaret Thatcher, Chris Patten, Tony Blair and
Michael Portillo, and his observations of political lifeand those
who move within it are truly fascinating. This colourful memoir is
an account of a young life already well lived. For readers of
Margaret Thatcher by Charles Moore, and fans of The End of the
Party by Andrew Rawnsley, this is a fascinating glimpse into modern
British politics. 'A five-star autobiography. Dazzling, hilarious
and wonderful' Sunday Times Matthew Parris was born in Johannesburg
in 1949. He was a Conservative MP from 1979 to 1986, since when he
has worked as a journalist. He is the author of A Castle in Spain,
the acclaimed story of his medieval home in L'Avenc, as well as the
bestselling books Parting Shots and A Spanish Ambassador's
Suitcase, both based on the BBC Radio 4 series. He divides his time
between Derbyshire (where his old constituency was situated) and
east London.
