Helen Thompson has an unmatched ability to cut through the rhetoric and emotional clamour surrounding the salient issues of the day and calmly explain the history, context and implications of political events. It’s no easy feat stepping David Runciman’s shoes (geddit?!) but Tom McTague is a political journalist of considerable heft and has made a very promising start finding a voice that complements Helen Thompson’s sharp mind and academic rigour. Mandatory listening for anyone hungry for dispassionate, informed and thoughtful political discourse.
