In 1981 he was one of the founders of the Social Democratic Party, and was its leader from 1983 to 1987, and of the reformed SDP between 1988 and 1990. He was also the youngest person to hold the post of Foreign Secretary (1977-1979) for over forty years. For much of his career he has been a controversial figure, inspiring great devotion among a few close followers, but alienation among many others for perceived arrogance. He is married to Deborah Owen, an American literary agent.
