Excellent. 2 very intelligent and engaging communicators from opposite sides of the political divide, but with great respect for each other, cut through the opaque nature of politics and tell it like it is. I could listen to them for hours!

Your introduction of
Empire is offensive to me as an ex South African which was attacked and exploited by the British.
India was appalling. South Africa as bad.
Description
Two men who’ve been at the heart of the political world - former Downing Street Director of Communications and Strategy Alastair Campbell and cabinet minister Rory Stewart - join forces from across the political divide. The Rest Is Politics lifts the lid on the secrets of Westminster, offering an insider’s view on politics at home and abroad, while bringing back the lost art of disagreeing agreeably.
