The full story of Glenda Jackson’s astonishing journey from Boots shop assistant to double-Oscar-winning actress with a triumphant stage career, and her re-invention of herself as a politician.\nIn 1964 she took her place in the forefront of British stage actresses playing the insane, sexually tormented Charlotte Corday in Peter Brook’s The Marat/Sade. She went on to portray disturbed and sexually aggressive women for Ken Russell, and gained a reputation for taking her clothes off at the slightest provocation – an image deeply at odds with her puritanical private life.\nWith Oscars for Women in Love and A Touch of Class, her biggest box-office hit, Glenda Jackson established herself as the darling of the film industry – she is reputedly one of Britain’s top 200 richest women. Subsequently she worked in films of intermittent quality, and became increasingly difficult to work with.\nBy the 1980s she worked almost exclusively on stage, reinforcing her reputation as a supremely intelligent and serious actress. But she became increasingly unhappy with the ephemeral nature of the theatre and became more and more involved in left-wing politics, appearing for Neil Kinnock in the 1987 campaign.\nThe marriage of Glenda Jackson and Hampstead and Highgate Labour Party may seem to be made in heaven, but it took precision engineering to convince many that she was more than a celebrity actress. She scraped through, and has now risen to become Junior Minister for Transport under Tony Blair.\nAs actress or MP, Glenda Jackson continues to intrigue the public, and in her appearances there shines through a contradictory, sultry and evasive woman.

Parliament: The Biography (Volume I - Ancestral Voices)

History

Europe

Black Swan.

The history of Parliament is the history of the United Kingdom itself. It has a cast of thousands. Some were ambitious, visionary and altruistic. Others were hot-headed, violent and self-serving. Few were unambiguously noble. Yet their rowdy confrontations, their campaigning zeal and their unstable alliances framed our nation. This first of two volumes takes us on a 500-year journey from Parliament's earliest days in the thirteenth century through the turbulent years of the Wars of the Roses and the upheavals of the Civil Wars, and up to 1801, when Parliament - and the United Kingdom, embracing Scotland and Ireland - emerged in a modern form. Chris Bryant tells this epic tale through the lives of the myriad MPs, lords and bishops who passed through Parliament. It is the vivid, colourful biography of a cast of characters whose passions and obsessions, strengths and weaknesses laid the foundations of modern democracy.

Parliament: The Biography (Volume II - Reform)

London: Doubleday

A polemical history of the British ruling class and how they ended up owning our nation. The full, shocking story of the British aristocracy, from Anglo-Saxon times until the present day. Exploring the extraordinary and sometimes pernicious social and political dominance enjoyed by the British aristocracy over centuries, Entitled seeks to explain how a tiny number of noble families rose to such a position in the first place and reveals the often nefarious means they have employed to maintain their wealth, power and prestige. It examines the greed, ambition, jealousy and rivalry which drove local barons to compete with one another and aristocratic families to guard their inheritance with phenomenal determination. In telling their history, it introduces a cast of extraordinary characters: fierce warriors, rakish dandies, political dilettantes, charming eccentrics, arrogant snobs and criminals who got away with murder. Meticulously researched and engagingly written, Entitled tells a riveting story of arrogance, corruption and greed, the defining characteristic of the British ruling class.

Chris Bryant's CCNP ROUTE 300-101 Study Guide

A STORY OF UNSUNG BRAVERY AT A DEFINING MOMENT IN BRITAIN'S HISTORY\n'Superb' Stephen Fry 
'Thrillingly told' Dan Jones 
'Fascinating' Neil MacGregor 
'Astonishing' Peter Frankopan\nWe like to think we know the story of how Britain went to war with Germany in 1939, but there is one chapter that has never been told. In the early 1930s, a group of young, queer British MPs visited Berlin on a series of trips that would change the course of the Second World War.\nHaving witnessed the s' brutality first-hand, these men were some of the first to warn Britain about Hitler, repeatedly speaking out against their government's policy of appeasing him. Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain hated them. Branding them 'the glamour boys' to insinuate something untoward about them, he had their phones tapped and threatened them with deselection and exposure.\nAt a time when even the suggestion of homosexuality could land you in prison, the bravery these men were forced to show in their personal lives gave them extraordinary courage in public. Undaunted, they refused to be silenced and when war came, they enlisted. Four of them died in action. And without them, Britain would never have faced down the s.\nA Guardian Book of Autumn 2020
