His political life encompasses, for example, the 1975 EEC Referendum, time in Mrs Thatcher’s private office, privatisation of the electricity industry, looking after Britain’s relations with large parts of the world at the Foreign Office, local government and housing policy, BSE and EU fisheries disputes. He has had personal dealings with Prime Ministers from Harold Macmillan to Boris Johnson.
