He made intermittent appearances as a theatre critic throughout, and was one of the original panellists on BBC Radio 4's The Moral Maze. He is the author of many books on politics and current affairs, including Looking Down on Mrs Thatcher (1987), The Quiet Rise of John Major (1991), and a biography of Denis Healey (2002). Over the last decade, he increasingly turned to history writing, with biographies of Sir Robert Walpole and Pitt the Elder and Reform!: The Fight for the 1832 Reform Act (2010).
