€19.78

From the Hillsborough and Grenfell tragedies, to the Daniel Morgan case and parliamentary scandals, the powerful repeatedly chose to use their power not in the interests of the powerless but to serve themselves or to protect the organisation to which they belonged. The Abuse of Power is a searing expose of injustice and an impassioned call to exercise power for the greater good.

Drawing on examples from domestic and international affairs she was personally involved in at the highest level, including Stop and Search and the Salisbury Poisonings, the former prime minister argues for a radical rethink in how we approach our politics and public life.

Most people think I save dogs, but really they saved me. Tyrone-born Niall Harbison is a dog hero based in Thailand.

Through his twenties he cooked for the super-wealthy all over the world and spent two years as private chef to Microsoft co-founder, Paul Allen. His interest in food led him into a food-inspired online business in the late noughties which in turn led to the world of online marketing.
