Show 353. Sarah Brown: LIVE at the Edinburgh Festival

Sarah lived in Downing Street for the entirety of the last Labour government. 

What is the role of a political spouse? Why doesn't the UK formalise the role?

More importantly, what was Sarah and Gordon's first date like?

This is the hilarious inside story of what it was like living on Britian's most famous street for 13 years.
