The Not Quite Prime Ministers

History is written by (and often about) the winners, but the lives and careers of Britain's political losers can be just as telling. Leaders of the Opposition was a long-running feature on Matt's Times Radio show, and now author and historian Nigel Fletcher has written the book explaining what they can tell us about modern politics.

Plus: Columnists India Knight and James Marriott on Rishi Sunak's plans for a British baccalaureate, why we need more expertise in public debate, and how to stop yourself being digitally re-animated once you're dead.
