I am delighted to invite you to an upcoming IEA event, ‘In Conversation with Dr Tom Hurst and Sir John Whittingdale OBE MP’. This event will occur on Monday, 28^th April, from 18:00 – 20:30 at the IEA (2 Lord North Street, Westminster, London, SW1P 3LB).

In Making Speeches, Dr Tom Hurst assesses Margaret Thatcher’s speechmaking process from 1975 to 1990. In so doing, Hurst can offer a fresh insight into Mrs Thatcher as a politician and into her articulation of ‘Thatcherism’. Making Speeches is an important book for anybody interested in Thatcherism, the Conservative Party or modern British political history.

The discussion starts at 18:30 and will be preceded by drinks from 18:00. Spaces are limited and will be given on a first-come-first-serve basis. If you would like to attend, please RSVP to vipevents@iea.org.uk or call 020 7799 8910.
