3. Alastair Campbell thinks he's better than everyone else (shock): The Rest is Politics Live review
Last week, Alex and I went to The Rest is Politics Live. I spent most of the time cringing and rolling my eyes at most things Alastair Campbell said, and Alex enjoyed Rory Stewart's expertise on the Middle East. We discuss the Tory leadership race, the US election, and why there is such a gender divide between the Left and Right.
