Festival of Politics - Ken Clarke MP: Kind of Blue

The Rt Hon Kenneth Clarke MP is one of the genuine heavyweights of the UK political world with almost 50 years of serving as an MP at the heart of government under three Prime Ministers. Perceived as being on the left of the Conservative Party, his memorable Brexit speech is a reminder why he remains such a stalwart of British politics. Kenneth Clarke MP was in conversation with the Presiding Officer as they discussed his candid autobiography, Kind of Blue, and the secret of balancing politics with lifelong passions for cricket, jazz and Nottingham Forest FC.
