A conversation with author, journalist and publisher Iain Dale – the editor of ‘The Prime Ministers’: a book of 55 essays on the 55 leaders we have had since the post of Prime Minister was created in the early 18th century. Richard Graham MP will chair a panel of students from schools and universities to discuss with Iain Dale the attributes that make a successful Prime Minister. What are the clues we should be looking for: are ‘events’ always going to determine how Prime Ministers are seen in retrospect, or are there other ways of judging how to make a successful Prime Minister.
