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!

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.
