In this election year what better person to talk about politics past, present and future than writer and journalist Polly Toynbee.

This evening is also an opportunity to hear about her latest book – an autobiography – ‘An Uneasy Inheritance: My family and other radicals’.  Reviews have called it a ‘work of love, forgiveness and understanding’ and a ‘laceratingly honest and often funny book.’

Polly Toynbee has been a Guardian political and social commentator since 1998 and is the former BBC Social Affairs Editor.
