Between 2005 and 2019 Lionel Barber led the digital transformation of the most important business newspaper in the world – The Financial Times -  taking it from the stands to the screen with over one million paying subscribers.

The Powerful and The Damned (buy your copy from Primrose Hill Books HERE) opens up the pages of his private diaries during that turbulent time, exposing off the record chats with the men and women who make and break economies around the world.

In this intimate conversation with Richard Kilgarriff, former FT Editor Lionel Barber talks candidly about his opinion of  Donald Trump (like Tony Soprano) and Dominic Cummings (viewed the British public with contempt). As FT Editor, could he, should he, have done more to prevent Brexit? Which living newspaper editor does he admire most and what does he think about the way Boris Johnson runs the country?
