Delivery. 

It's a popular word in politics, but how to Prime Ministers ensure it happens?

Michelle is Researcher in Residence at 10 Downing Street and Lecturer in Government Studies at The Strand Group, King's College.

She has written a new book 'The Art of Delivery: The Inside Story of How the Blair Government Transformed Britain’s Public Services'. 

This is a wonderful insight into the inner workings of 10 Downing Street and how Tony Blair changed his approach to the civil service during his premiership.

Michelle brings the internal machinations to life in this fascinating and entertaining interview.
