This week's Little Atoms

You may have noticed that Little Atoms describes itself as being of the "The Left", so it's a great contrarian pleasure to announce our first Member of Parliament guest, Michael Gove, (Conservative) MP for Surrey Heath and Shadow Minister for Housing.

Michael Gove is one of Britain's leading writers and thinkers on terrorism and foreign affairs. He has lectured in Britain and Europe on the root causes of terrorism. He was founding chairman of Policy Exchange, and a founder member of the Henry Jackson Society. He writes a regular column for The Times and is a frequent panellist on BBC Radio 4's The Moral Maze and Newsnight Review. In 2006 he won the Rising Star Award at the Channel 4 Political Awards. He is Conservative MP for Surrey Heath. Michael's latest book is "Celsius 7/7", which discusses how the West's policy of appeasing Islamism has helped to provoke more Fundamentalist terror.
