The Capitalist

Gisela Stuart on Britain's absent foreign policy


Listen Later

Gisela Stuart is a rare figure in British politics - a Labour politician who campaigned wholeheartedly for Brexit.


As an MP from 1997-2017, Gisela is perhaps best known for her role in the 2016 referendum, where she chaired the Vote Leave campaign and appeared in the TV debates.

 

But her deep interest in constitutional and foreign affairs long-predates that referendum. Gisela sat on the Foreign Affairs Select Committee for nearly a decade, was a founding signatory to the foreign policy think tank The Henry Jackson Society, and is now Chair of Wilton Park, an executive agency of the Foreign Office dedicated to mediation and resolving international conflict.

 

Our Assistant Editor, Frank Lawton, sat down with her to chat all things foreign affairs.
