“When I retired from
Parliament in April 2010, I ceased keeping a diary, on the assumption that life
would no longer be of sufficient interest to justify doing so. It soon became
apparent that I was wrong…”
Picking up where he
left off in 2010’s Decline and Fall,
celebrated diarist Chris Mullin returns with his trademark irreverence and keen
eye for the absurd to chronicle the turbulent last decade of the second
Elizabethan era.
Didn’t You Use to Be Chris Mullin? charts the collapse of New Labour, the long years of
austerity politics, the highs and lows of Brexit, the rise and fall of Jeremy
Corbyn and no fewer than four Tory Prime Ministers, culminating in the death of
the Queen.
Wise, witty and deeply perceptive, Mullin paints a vivid
portrait of our recent political history.
This event will be chaired by John MacKay, STV news anchor and author of The Road Dance.
