When in July 2024 the incoming Labour Government announced as one of its priorities to stop hereditary peers sitting and voting in the House of Lords, Unicorn's Chairman and backbench hereditary peer Lord Strathcarron decided to write about the political machinations involved in the Government trying to abolish him on the one hand, and the Opposition trying to foil abolition on the other. The result is an insider's guide to the workings of the Parliamentary process, with direct access to the movers and shakers involved, and a not always entirely complimentary commentary on the key players involved.
Ian Strathcarron is the author of numerous books from spy thrillers to travel biographies, from philosophy books to crime dramas, as well as being a playwright and screenwriter. When not writing, he is Chairman of Unicorn Publishing Group, President of the Society of Mediators and a backbencher in the House of Lords.
