In 2021, I started publishing a series of short podcasts offering a personal perspective on my political career from 1984, when I joined the Labour Party, to 2015 (and a bit beyond) when I lost my parliamentary seat at the general election. I plan to follow this series up with a new podcast under the Politically Homeless banner, which will be initially available only to paid subscribers. In the meantime, I’m republishing the original The Imposter episodes, one per (week) day, for anyone who’s interested.
