The Political Life and Legacy of John Smith

About

This session celebrated the political life and legacy of former Labour leader (1992-1994) John Smith.  Historians frequently cite Smith as one of the great Prime Ministers we never had.  We were joined by former Secretary General of NATO, Lord Robertson, who served as a Labour MP with Smith; Mark Stuart, author of John Smith: A Life; Baroness Smith of Cluny the youngest daughter of John Smith; and former Labour MP and the UK’s first black Cabinet minister, Lord Boateng.
