Rory Stewart

Join co-presenter of the hit podcast The Rest is Politics, Rory Stewart - diplomat, explorer, cabinet minister and writer - for an evening of no-holds barred discussion on crisis, politics, and the world order. Rory will be taking to the stage to reflect on how, over the course of a decade, he went from being a political outsider to standing in for the prime minister before being sacked from a Conservative Party that he had come to barely recognise. Tackling ministerial briefs on flood response and prison violence, engaging with conflict and poverty abroad as a foreign minister, and Brexit as a Cabinet minister, Rory learned first-hand how profoundly hollow and inadequate our democracy and government had become. With a chance to ask your own questions to the man himself, don’t miss the chance to hear Rory’s account of the challenges, absurdities, and realities of political life.
