BLUE ROSETTE DINNER with Dan Hodges
Dan Hodges is a leading newspaper columnist who, since 2016, has written a weekly column for The Mail on Sunday. Prior to this, he was a columnist for The Daily Telegraph and in 2013 was described by James Forsyth in The Spectator as David Cameron’s “new favourite columnist”.
Dan is the son of Glenda Jackson (former Labour MP for Hampstead & Highgate). Between 1992 and 1997, he worked as a parliamentary researcher for his mother before working in public relations for the Road Haulage Association, GMB and the Freedom To Fly lobby group. In 2007, he worked as Head of Communications at the London Development Agency and as Director of News for Transport for London.
In 2017, Dan won the Political Commentator of the Year Award at The Comment Awards. Although he was a member of the Labour Party, Dan voted for Boris Johnson in the 2012 London Mayoral elections instead of his former boss Ken Livingstone whom he saw as “divisive” and unfit. Following the Commons vote in 2013 against possible military involvement in the Syrian civil war, and objecting to Ed Miliband’s conduct, Dan left the Labour Party. Later, in December 2015, he wrote an article for The Daily Telegraph accusing party members of abuse and intimidation against Labour MPs.
