Notes:
Tom Pendry is one of the most colourful characters to grace the Palace of Westminster. He has been a boxer, a bruiser and a scholar whose political career as an agent, candidate, Labour MP and peer has spanned 60 years. During an astonishing lifetime - which isn't over yet - Tom has mixed with prime ministers and presidents, sporting legends and crooks, TV stars and artists, pub brawlers and writers. As well as introducing key legislation, his time in politics saw him famously kick-start Tony Blair's political career, lead the first anti-apartheid demonstration at a cricket match of an all-white South African side and lead the successful fight to keep sport on Radio 5. This book is his memoirs.
