Making the Weather analyses the careers of six politicians who set the agenda of post-war British politics and, in doing so, deeply influenced all of our lives. Aneurin Bevan, Roy Jenkins and Tony Benn are from the left; Enoch Powell, Sir Keith Joseph and Nigel Farage from the right. Their influence can still be felt - Aneurin Bevan on the NHS, Enoch Powell on immigration, Roy Jenkins on realignment of the Left, Keith Joseph on the market economy, Tony Benn on participation, and Nigel Farage on Brexit. Each made fundamental contributions to the debate about Britains future. A previous Professor of Government at Oxford, Sir Vernon Bogdanor is now a research professor at the Centre for British Politics and Government. He has written widely on government and politics, and was awarded the CBE for services to constitutional history.
