Milton Keynes Lit Fest presents Ian Dunt In Conversation: How To Be A Liberal

"'This is a history of ideas as it should be written - brilliant, vivid story-telling about the people who shaped liberalism, the challenges it has faced over the centuries, its commitment to the truth and why it's now more important than ever to defend it."- Caroline Lucas MP
