Summary

Laura Kuenssberg has interviewed every living UK prime minister. In this special episode, she joins us to reveal how politicians attempt to control the narrative – and to diagnose the deeper dysfunction behind Britain’s political malaise.


People have felt squeezed for years, and the political system has done little to earn their patience. In two decades covering Westminster, Kuenssberg says, she has never met a politician who believes government works well. In her new book, Pay Attention, she lays bare what she has learned.


She also reflects on her encounters with Boris Johnson, Theresa May and Keir Starmer – and on the Peter Mandelson question she never got the chance to ask.
