RETIRED politician Sir Nicholas Winterton will be giving an insight into Westminster life at a charity lunch at The Deanwater Hotel on Thursday, November 9.
The former Conservative MP for Macclesfield is the guest speaker at the annual lunch and Christmas Fayre of the Wilmslow Support Group for East Cheshire Hospice.
Sir Nicholas will be discussing The Wintertons Unmuzzled, a book written by daughter Sarah Winterton, which charts the political life of her parents.

Their colourful careers covered four prime ministers, two recessions and various scandals.
