Welcome to lanceprice.co.uk the personal web-site of Lance Price, a British writer, broadcaster and commentator.

I am the author of two books – you can see them and even buy signed copies on the Books page – and am now working on a third. I specialise in British and European politics. Almost all my career has been spent as an observer and commentator on the world of politics but I also spent three years as a practitioner, working for Tony Blair and the Labour Party as a media adviser.

Having been a BBC Correspondent on TV and Radio for many years, I continue to broadcast as a freelance journalist. I also write regularly for the Guardian newspaper among others.

I have a house in France where I do a lot of my writing and I am an avid traveller so tracking me down can be an issue. Not even my Mum knows where I am half the time. The Diary link will give some clues and the Contacts page should help you get hold of me wherever I am. I will always do my best to respond promptly.

I’m always happy to receive invitations to speak, lecture and conduct seminars. I have done some intensive media training for a wide variety of clients, most of whom sensibly prefer to remain anonymous. More on all that on the Speaking page.

My passions and interests are as varied and hard to classify as my life. The Biography page gives a few clues, for what they are worth.

Media appearances including:
Question Time, Panorama, Newsnight, Hardtalk, Start the Week, Channel Four News, Today Programme, Louis Theroux, Jeremy Vine, BBC Breakfast, Sky News, Al Jazeera, ABC.

Having worked for so long for the BBC, where all opinions were equal, and then for the Labour Government, where it was my job to promote the party line, I now have the freedom to say exactly what I think. It is a great luxury and I enjoy it enormously. If it ever gives offence, it is not intended to. Why anybody should care what I think I have no idea, but I’m glad some people seem to. And I am always pleased to receive any comments and thoughts. Thanks for taking the trouble to get this far.

"Lance Price is a man who knows about the machinations of government".
