The World of Politics

In series 5, episode 3 of Good Things Happen, host Jorian Murray is joined by Alastair Campbell, writer, communicator, strategist and former advisor to British prime minister Tony Blair, to discuss the changing landscape of political communication, the role of traditional and social media, and the challenges of maintaining truth and reason in modern political debates. Campbell shares his views on the current UK political landscape, the Labour government under Keir Starmer, and the importance of political education and restoring trust in democratic institutions. The conversation also touches on Campbell's current work, including co-hosting the popular podcast ‘The Rest is Politics’ and the importance of mental health awareness.
