Listen now
Description
On the eve of the 2024 General Election, we're joined by Tim Shipman, chief political commentator at The Sunday Times, to hear about how things really work in Westminster. Tim draws on his first-hand experience to explain the tumultuous last decade of British politics. How are crucial decisions made in the halls of government? Who can we trust when we get wildly differing accounts of the same event? And why exactly did Brexit turn out the way that it did? Tim's latest book and the final instalment of his Brexit quartet, 'Out', is available now. Produced by Mariana Des Forges and James Hickmann, and edited by Dougal Patmore.
