Description

In this episode, my girlfriend Alice quizzes me on all things John Major! She's coming at this as a relative newbie to British political history and asks some both thought provoking and gossip-based questions! Hopefully, both novices and experts on the topic should find this a great listen! 
 
 I'm also planning to do a 'part 2' to this podcast where I go deeper into the policies of the Major government and their impacts at the time and more lasting impressions on politics today. 
 
 For this episode my main sources of inspiration were:

·       John Major's Autobiography

·       John Major: An Unsuccessful Prime Minister? - book by Kevin Hickson

·       The Major Years - documentary from the BBC

·       The Presidents & the Prime Ministers with  Iain Dale Podcast- John Major episode

·       Prime Ministerial, from the New Statesman Podcast - John Major episode

I'd really recommend all of these to anybody who enjoys the subject matter!
