Gisela Stuart on Joseph Chamberlain
4 Extra Debut. Former MP Gisela Stuart chooses industrialist and politician, Joseph Chamberlain. With Matthew Parris. From 2018.
Gisela Stuart, former MP for Birmingham Edgbaston champions Joseph Chamberlain to be nominated as her great life.
But can she really make the case for this former industrialist who made it to the cabinet, but had a knack for splitting political parties and switching allegiances?
Jo Chamberlain was first a Liberal then a Liberal Unionist and finally formed an alliance with the Conservative party but fell out with them too.
Gisela argues he was a man who wasn't afraid to take action, a radical who shouldn't simply be remembered for his failures but as "the man who made the weather" and for making Birmingham the best governed city in the world.
The expert witness is Peter Marsh, Honorary Professor of History at the University of Birmingham and author of 'Joseph Chamberlain, Entrepreneur in Politics.'
Presented by Matthew Parris.
Producer: Perminder Khatkar.
First broadcast on 麻豆社 Radio 4 in January 2018.
