About This Event

Champagne socialist, national treasure, loony leftie, radical reformer, traitor, battleaxe; Margaret Hodge has built a reputation as one of Britain's most outspoken and determined politicians. From challenging Margaret Thatcher's reforms to taking on tax avoiders, money launderers and kleptocrats, she has fought battles on every front. In conversation with journalist Rosie Wright , the former Labour MP and now life peer reflects on the defining moments of her career, the victories and setbacks that shaped her and why she continues to believe politics can be a powerful force for justice, change and a better world. There will be a book signing after this event.
