The relationship between politicians and broadcasters has always been fraught with tension. Today, every word and act of those who wield power is instantly broadcast and dissected on 24-hour rolling news channels, blogs and Twitter. But in the past, broadcasters were banned by law from debating anything newsworthy and Parliament imprisoned those who dared to report what MPs had said. Since that censorship ended, the two sides have clashed repeatedly.Live From Downing Street takes us on an absorbing journey through the history of this power struggle, dwelling in fascinating detail on the charismatic key players from radio and television the Dimblebys, Day, Frost, Walden, Paxman, Humphrys and those who fought back Churchill, Wilson, Thatcher and Blair. As the BBCs Political Editor, Nick Robinson is uniquely placed to add his own perceptive insights into the controversial issue of impartial reporting, providing a colourful and gripping account of the hard-fought battles for the right to tell the public about the decisions taken on their behalf.

Just after ten oclock on Thursday, 7 May 2015 Nick Robinson stared down the lens of camera 5 in the BBCs Election Night Studio to explain to millions the significance of an exit poll that shocked the country and heralded an earthquake in British politics.That moment was a personal milestone for the BBCs Political Editor, who had been discharged from hospital just hours earlier following weeks of treatment for cancer and the loss of his voice after surgery.In the year leading up to that night Nick kept a journal recording the events he reported on day after day to millions of viewers and listeners, and which he continued to monitor, often from his hospital bed as he fought to get fit in time for election night. This is Nicks behind-the-scenes account of his encounters with David Cameron, who many wrote off before the shock victory he called his sweetest; Ed Miliband, who turned abuse & ridicule into respect before leading Labour to its worst defeat in a generation; Nick Clegg, who led his party into power and then to humiliation and near oblivion; Nigel Farage, who rose so fast and then fell at the final hurdle; Alex Salmond, whose public clash with Nick led to thousands protesting outside the BBCs Scottish HQ, and Nicola Sturgeon, whose stunning success as SNP leader has put Scottish independence back on the map.The result is an extraordinary narrative, characterized by Nick Robinsons trademark insight, analysis and backstage gossip, of an adrenaline-fuelled year which culminated in a captivating election that transformed Britains political landscape.

During the boom years of the 1980s, the massed oil wealth of the princes of Dubai and Saudi Arabia were pitted against British millionaire Robert Sangster in a battle for control of one of the worlds rarest, most precious and most unpredictable commodities: top-pedigree thoroughbred racehorses. From the Jockey Club to Kentucky, from Royal Ascot to Belmont Park, high society and new money celebrated a horsebreeders bonanza as hundreds of millions of dollars were waged in the ultimate racing gamble. Horsetrader is the thrilling, compulsive story of the rise and spectacular crash of the Sport of Kings. Robert Sangster was the man responsible for the boom. Together with Irishmen Vincent OBrien, the worlds finest trainer, and stallion master John Magnier, Sangster undertook the revolutionary policy of buying baby stallions the worlds most expensive yearlings. And the man who could win at this game, they decided, was the man who bought them all. They sent prices through the roof in bidding wars fought with breathtaking daring. Top stallions became worth three times their weight in gold the breeding rights to them became a licence to print money. This book traces the gripping story of how Sangster and his little band of Irish horsemen ransacked the worlds most prestigious bloodstock auction, the Keeneland Sales in Kentucky. It witnesses too the terrible crash the bankruptcies and the ruined thoroughbred farms. Written with the full co-operation of Sangster himself, Horsetrader is the inside track on an awesome bid to corner the thoroughbred market.
