The Political Party

Show 259 - *Alastair Campbell - LIVE*

Even by Alastair Campbell's standards this is superb. Passionate, direct, funny with occasional outbreaks of self-deprecation, it's the perfect way to start 2022. Alastair sets off at lightning pace, giving direct advice to Labour on how to campaign against the government. He shares his frustration with the recent BBC series about new Labour, reflects on his own changing sense of national identity and recalls a confrontation with a litter lout. He also answers the question: is he woke? There's so much in this episode that a blurb cannot do justice to. Enjoy! Follow Alastair on Twitter: @campbellclaret NEW GUESTS ANNOUNCED FOR THE POLITICAL PARTY LIVE: 24 Jan: Angela Rayner7 Feb: Michael Heseltine21 Feb: Edwina Currie7 March: Neil Kinnock Buy tickets to The Political Party, live at The Duchess Theatre including the next show with ANGELA RAYNER on Monday 24 January here: <a href="https://protect-eu.mimecast.com/s/TLNZC1j2NHM1PjiLDNjC?domain=nimaxtheatres.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.nimaxtheatres.com/shows/the-political-party-with-matt-forde/</a> Email the show: <a href="mailto:politicalpartypodcast@gmail.com" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">politicalpartypodcast@gmail.com</a> Follow Matt on Twitter: @mattforde Hosted on Acast.
