A leading British political scientist, historian and frequent contributor to public media, Sir Vernon is Professor of Government at King’s College, London and was formerly Professor of Government at Oxford University and a Fellow of Brasenose.

Sir Vernon’s talk will focus upon his recent publication “Making The Political Weather” which analyses the careers of six politicians who set the agenda of post war British politics and, in doing so, deeply influenced all of our lives. Three – Aneurin Bevan, Roy Jenkins and Tony Benn – are from the left; three – Enoch Powell, Sir Keith Joseph and Nigel Farage – are from the right.

The talk will be followed by a drinks and canape reception during which Sir Vernon will sign copies of his book.

Full details and booking form will be e-mailed to OUS-London members.
