James Macintyre | Gordon Brown: power with purpose | Sun 26 Apr 2026 | 4:00pm – 5:00pm
Polls regularly suggest that Gordon Brown is the most popular living former Prime Minister, and he continues to wield significant influence. Yet his short time in Number 10 ended in bitterness and election defeat. Journalist and author James Macintyre’s fascinating new biography of Gordon Brown provides a compelling portrait of a true political giant, and reveals the private man behind the public figure: his family life, his faith and what still motivates him.
