Ian Bradley

Ian is the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Foreign Affairs and Trade. He is next in line for the throne, and it's a given that he will take it - the only question is when. He has a fearsome reputation - fools, whingers, prevaricators – none of them survive long in his company. Bradley is lightening-quick and as capable of charm as demolition. That this makes his colleagues nervous, gives Bradley immense pleasure.
