VIDEO PREVIEW: Nick Clegg among big names at Sheffield's Off The Shelf 2016 book festivalFor decades Britain has been divided between Left and Right but now, with nationalism resurgent and mainstream parties in turmoil, new divisions define the country. Part memoir, part road-map, Clegg argues our future will rely more than ever on collaboration, compromise and co-operation.

Clegg offers a frank account of his spectacular rise in the 2010 general election, through his tumultuous years as Deputy Prime Minister, to a brutal defeat in 2015 in order to tell the inside story of this change and reflect on what it means for our future.

He will be in conversation with Dr Andy Price - Head of Politics at Sheffield Hallam University - at the Pennine Theatre, at Sheffield Hallam University's Owen Building, Howard Street, on Friday, September 16, 6pm to 7.30pm.

We have five pairs of tickets to be won. See competition details below.
