During nearly two decades in the adrenaline-filled, egotistical and stressful world of Parliament, Mark Field had a remarkable capacity for getting into high-profile scrapes – most famously in his close friendship with future Prime Minister Liz Truss, his role in David Cameron’s Piggate scandal and his skirmish with protesters at Mansion House.
From his first foray into student politics at Oxford, where he got to know David Miliband, Jeremy Hunt, Michael Gove and Keir Starmer, to his years as a Foreign Office Minister alongside Boris Johnson and Rory Stewart, Mark casts an unsparing eye over forty years of British political life. Crammed with vivid pen portraits of some of the most influential political figures of our age, this wry and incisive memoir also reflects candidly on the changes that have taken place in the UK during Mark’s lifetime.
Recognising that his has been a golden generation that has benefited from a range of opportunities now denied to younger Britons, Mark emphasises how our unrealistic sense of exceptionalism risks holding us back from the urgent reform now needed in so many of our institutions. Above all, he argues that post-Brexit, it is the Conservative Party’s failure to ensure we take responsibility for our own fate that has led to its rapid decline and fall.

About the Author
Mark Field is a businessman and commentator who served in Parliament during the turbulent first two decades of this century.
After graduating from St Edmund Hall, Oxford, he practised as a lawyer with Freshfields and then founded, built up and sold a successful consulting firm. Elected as the MP for the Cities of London & Westminster in 2001, Mark developed a reputation as an independent-minded parliamentarian and writer, with collections of his essays published by Biteback as Between the Crashes and The Best of Times.
During his political career, he served as chairman of the Conservative Party’s international office and as Minister of State for Asia and the Pacific at the Foreign and Commonwealth Office. A prominent supporter of the UK’s membership of the EU, Mark left frontline politics in 2019.
Today, he chairs Capital International Bank and the advisory board of a European family office fund. He is also a non-executive director to three UK-listed companies.
