Politics Inside Out lifts the lid on how Westminster really works by talking to the people who work there. It is presented by Gloria De Piero and Jonathan Ashworth, lifelong friends who became Labour insiders and senior MPs. They reflect on what they learned in politics and talk to a different guest each week about what it is really like to hold high office, deal with a media scandal or break the whip.
Brought to you in association with Woburn Partners, the strategic communications agency.
