"Sir Anthony Seldon is a bestselling contemporary political historian. In his lecture, Sir Anthony will be asking: What can Starmer learn from Johnson and Truss?
Sir Anthony argues that Boris Johnson and Liz Truss were two of the worst Prime Ministers in British history, and Starmer has much to learn from them if not to repeat their mistakes.

Sir Anthony Seldon is a widely-respected authority on all matters relating to education, Number 10, and Britain’s prime ministers.
His first book on a prime minister, Churchill’s Indian Summer, was published forty years ago. He has since written or edited more than 50 books, many of which are best-sellers, including definitive insider accounts of the last seven prime ministers. Sir Anthony served as honorary historian of Number 10 Downing Street, chair of the National Archives Trust, and has interviewed most of the senior figures who have worked in Number 10 in the last fifty years. His most recent books are – The Path of Peace: Walking the Western Front Way (2022), Johnson at 10: The Inside Story (2023) and Truss at 10: How Not to Be Prime Minister (2024).
For 20 years he was a transformative headmaster, and is now the Founding Director of Wellington College Education to lead its development and evolution of global education, and to shape and refine what education should mean in the mid-21st century.
