Have I Said Too Much?: My Life in Politics & the Media

Award-winning broadcaster Iain Dale has led a life full of incident and success but also some very public failures. In this refreshingly honest account of his life and careers in business, politics and media, he tells all for the first time. With the same raw candour that earns him 750,000 weekly listeners, he recounts his journey from driving a combine harvester at age eight to driving the national conversation on LBC, taking in his encounters with a host of household names, including HM Queen Elizabeth II, Sir Cliff Richard, Kylie Minogue, Joan Rivers, Jeremy Paxman, Olivia Newton-John, Dame Joan Collins, David Dimbleby, Miranda Hart and twelve of our Prime Ministers. Along the way, Iain reflects movingly on coming out at age forty, coming to terms with his thwarted political aspirations and the heartbreaking phone-ins that have made him 'the friend they've never met' to millions. This is the ultimate insider's guide to the corridors of power and the pressures of the studio. Whether he's nearly throwing up on Margaret Thatcher, coming to blows with senior MPs or accidentally calling the Archbishop of Canterbury something less than pious on live radio, this is Iain Dale off-air and unfiltered.
