Political journalist is guest speaker at Lit Fest breakfast
BRITISH political journalist Steve Richards will be the guest speaker at this year’s Guernsey Literary Festival business breakfast.
The columnist and presenter, pictured, is set to offer his insights into holders of the post of prime minister – and is likely to talk about Boris Johnson – with his recent book The Prime Ministers explaining who leads the UK and why.
Deputy Gavin St Pier, president of Policy & Resources, will open the business breakfast, which is being held at the Old Government House Hotel between 8am and 9.30am on Friday 1 May. There will be a question and answer session at the end of the talk.
Richard Saunders, managing director CI and UK of event sponsor Butterfield Bank (Guernsey) Ltd, said: ‘Butterfield is proud to continue its relationship with the Guernsey Literary Festival. I am confident that Steve Richards will provide a fascinating talk on the lessons of leadership whilst providing surprising insight into how our modern prime ministers fare.’
