The Rest Is Politics

2. Lying, vanity and friendship in politics


Listen Later

Welcome to the second episode of The Rest Is Politics with Rory Stewart and Alastair Campbell!


With Ukrainian refugees struggling to claim asylum in the UK, why aren't the British government's actions matching up to its rhetoric? Rory and Alastair discuss the importance of personal relationships in matters of state, and question whether the current honours system is fit for purpose after former education and defence secretary Gavin Williamson was given a knighthood.
