John is widely recognised as the foremost and most trusted interpreter from the margins of where politics, policy and business meet. He has written and contributed to several books, including the annual Lloyds TSB Tax Guide, The Which? Guide to Planning and Conservation, The Major Effect and A Better State of Health.
He has extensive broadcast experience and has appeared frequently on BBC TV and radio, Sky News and CNN.
John graduated from Cambridge University in 1971 with a first-class degree in Social and Political Sciences despite this, he retains a first class sense of humour.
