Interesting. The start of the piece:

“This is the first in an exclusive two-part series from the book, Making the Weather: Six Politicians Who Changed Modern Britain, by Professor Vernon Bogdanor, who has taught one or two prime ministers.

Making the Weather is the story of six postwar politicians, all of whom exerted an outsized influence on our political life —an influence greater than that of most prime ministers.

Vernon Bogdanor’s cast includes three figures from the political Left—Aneurin “Nye” Bevan, Roy Jenkins, and Tony Benn—and three from the Right—Enoch Powell, Keith Joseph, and … Nigel Farage.”
