The Modern British History Podcast

This podcast is for anyone interested in modern British political history from 1945 to 2010. The focus is generally going to be more on domestic policy and I plan to either interview someone knowledgeable each episode, or use a book, documentary etc as some fodder for discussion. My personal interest in this comes from being a longstanding modern British history enthusiast, with an interest in UK domestic affairs over the recent past. My rough aim is to put out a podcast every two months, but this is solely a DIY passion project, rather than something I get paid for or do professionally - so that goal's very much life and day-job permitting. Hope you enjoy the podcast! You can email the podcast with any comments and feedback at mbph.pod@outlook.com and you can also find me on LinkedIn at: https://www.linkedin.com/in/harry-w-1b045386

    12. John Major: An Unsuccessful Prime Minister? - with Dr Ben Williams

    John Major was prime minister for longer than the last five we've had in the UK. What were his politics?

Thanks to Dr Ben Williams for joining me on this one to unpick these questions (and a few more besides!) Ben co-wrote the edited book John Major: An Unsuccessful Prime Minister? Reappraising John Major with Dr Kevin Hickson.Support th...
