Born in Hong Kong and raised in Malaysia, commissioned in the Black Watch when only a teenager, Rory Stewart’s career bears little resemblance to the typical 21st century career politician.

He joins to share his thoughts on Boris Johnson’s government in this time of perpetual crisis, and explore the challenges facing politicians of all affiliations today.
