This week we’re jumping in our time machines and heading back to a time where politics was very different- and Margaret Thatcher was still prime minister. The year is 1987, and she’s about to fight her third election. With her is David Young, drafted in to help run it- and who decided to keep an audio diary during the months he spent doing so, which has now been published. Tune in to listen to him chat about politics today, the dangers of social media and how to get a seat in the cabinet without signing up to a political party...
