I think I must be on his 10th or something version being interviewed about his book & still enjoy it as much as the 1st .... lovely interviewing ... oh, remind me to read that book of his some time 😆
I had enormous respect for Rory Stewart as a Conservative MP and minister and I say that as a lifelong Labour supporter. In recent political history terms I consider him the best Conservative party leader they never had. What a pity that such an enormous talent is now absent from Parliament.
Podcast with Alistair Campbell is so good I follow them regularly and Leading is interesting too. He’s so knowledgeable and likeable, I agree he should have been PM without a doubt Conservative loss, never tire of listening to him 🔥
Rory Stewart is suddenly everywhere. First I 'discover' the podcast with AC just a few days ago and binge watch a load of those. Then one of my sons casually mentions that he has Rory's A Life on the Edge which is now my bedside read for a while. I'd previously only been aware of him during his leadership bid. What a wasted opportunity to have this serious, eloquent, considered and thoughtful operator in parliament. Please do consider standing for North Cotswolds Rory, our incumbent, though tory (held despite the recent landslide) has the dubious accolade of being the UK's least active MP and has remained so moribund for 30 years!
What a moronic comment. How on earth can you pass judgement on an outcome that has never happened. Being the head of the government in a major industrialised nation isn't just about personalities.
Watched a bunch of recent Rory interviews, and this is a competitor for his best. Not only is he incredibly clear and thorough, but you can really feel the stress and irritation in his tone and manner, which is perfectly righteous.
thank you for broadcasting and sharing. Making me feel better about Lawyers (after the PO scandal). Management in this country is based on the industrial age (heat, beat, waste) or linear structure, where once upon a time the fittest survived. With no company loyalty, managers can not promote people of better ability, so the only motivation is personal money/bonus structure. A Prime Minister who can break this mold and be brave enough to bring in talent that will challenge him but therefore deliver him success; go from competitive format to collaborative and adaptable might be recipe to transform dull to dynamic and show a new regenerative age, and so a new politics. Look forward to Lord Stewart.
In The Netherlands Pieter Omtzigt changed the way in which the elections were televised, because he refused to take part in debates where they only had 1 minute to answer a question. Perhaps this could be done in the UK as well.

I truly dislike Tory but if Stewart would run for Tory leadership and gets it, I would vote Tory. Fortunately for me, Tory are a tribe of pretentious crooks and Stewart will never be at the conservative helm.
@@SuperjambiEactly correct. He may have been a legacy hire, given his father was the one time deputy chief of MI6 (and nearly got the top spot), but Rory clearly took the job seriously as his geographical CV reads like a who's who of the world's most violent hot spots. They don't send screw-ups to the front line of civil wars. In fact, I remember listening to him rattle off his list of 'diplomatic postings' and thinking either he was with Her Majesty's Secret Intelligence Service, or a senior diplomat at the Foreign Office really didn't like him.
Rory Stewart is the BBC personified. The BBC also believes that it is collectively at the very centre of British politics. The truth is that it is only the Reform Party that is at the very centre of British politics. The most popular party is the definition of a party slap bang in the middle, how else can it be defined? We currently have a Labour government with a massive majority in parliament that promotes policies that at best only 20% of the people actually want. However even worse most of their more popular policies The Labour Party is unlikely to enact, leaving us even less satisfied with what we are to be given. Put more simply we will be forced to pay for something that will not ever be delivered because the money will be spent on something that we don't want, never asked for or told we would be given. We have allowed the wrong types of people, namely our establishment and its mass media to define what the centre is when in fact it is they all long since shot off to a Radical Extremist Fairy Land, leaving the masses more or less in the same place. They collectively left this real world and settled in a Utopian Fairy-tale land which is so far to either the left or right that they have met up in a Dystopian Hell and are currently creating some kind of Globalist 4th Reich to oversee it. This is what happens when you do everything in secret, don't bother to tell the people what you are doing or why and so bring them along with you. Lies, propaganda, disinformation, misinformation, indoctrination, assassination, manipulation, mass murder, and general BS could only ever have got them so far. Their big problem as well as ours is that their much beloved globalist baby was born many years premature, is still on life support and looking progressively less likely to make it.
If Reform were in the centre they would have received millions more votes than they actually did. The fact is that they're a right wing party, and as a result they got the votes of right wing people, not the majority of people in the centre.
It's well written post, but with no sense of reality. Reform received 14.3% of the vote - that's less than half the number who voted for Labour. If you combine Reform and the Tories you only get 38% - combine the Greens, Labour, and Lib Dems (a more or less centre/centre left/or left coalition) and you get 52.3%. That's clearly what the majority want.
One thing, however, gets overlooked or ignored - massimigration from Asia and Africa to europa. Which is simply unwanted and unbearable to the population of France , Netherlands, Austria … you name it As long as politicians argue the difficulty to repatriate those immigrants and their human rights claims to go wherever they please, I’m afraid the right wingers will get stronger And they are Putins endorser and climate change denial and lots of other unpleasant stuff However, to get rid of illegal immigration is an overriding topic which will get them elected And that’s simply a fact - truth
I really like Rory Stewart, in fact, I have a crush on him. But I have realised that he is subconsciously very sexist towards women. I have observed it in his TRIP podcasts also, but this interview really highlighted it to me. The interviewer is a female, and a young one too, and he only gives her eye contact when she asks him a question and the rest of the time looks away to the audience. Of course, it is good that he looks towards the audience, but I find it rude that he does not, at any time during his answers, look back to the interviewer. I doubt that he would have done this with a male interviewer. I think that Rory lacks an insight and awareness of this behaviour and bias inside of himself.
I could listen to Rory talk all day, and I do

Obsessed with listening to Rory at the moment, brilliant conversation

Rory’s the best Prime Minister we’ve never had
Many , including myself would agree.
He's a posh freak
He is the biggest idiot we never had thank god. The man's a loon
What a moronic comment. How on earth can you pass judgement on an outcome that has never happened. Being the head of the government in a major industrialised nation isn't just about personalities.
@@alanrobertson3172 Let's see if he gets on in any other political party.
I'm a Labour supporter but I want Rory Stewart as PM
The best move Starmer could make it to invite quality people, like Rory, into the government to get the country back on track.
Rory is Brilliant ! A jolly good Chap (: Thank you for sharing
Excellent interview. She lets Professor Stewart talk.
Superb, loved the book and have a lot of respect for this man.
We need Rory in public office
Watched a bunch of recent Rory interviews, and this is a competitor for his best. Not only is he incredibly clear and thorough, but you can really feel the stress and irritation in his tone and manner, which is perfectly righteous.
Wonderful conversation.
As always an excellent insight from Rory. But kudos to the interviewer, some interesting questions and a bit of light pushback where it was suitable
Rory is brilliant!

This is very enlightening!
He would be an excellent ambassador to the UNO
Nice Hermes tie, Rory 😊
Entertaining but disturbing insight at our political system - both the book and this discussion.
What a poor way of thinking to keep people with knowledge away from the ministries / posts where they could be of most use.
Fascinating
Wish he would return to politics and make the changes needed
It's usually pretty depressing listening to Rory Stewart recount his experiences of the UK's parliamentary politics.
A unit from Hereford i.e the SAS.
Is he still on his gap year?
‘you can raise taxes or you can cut spending, you can raise taxes or you can cut spending’ [RS] … or … you can grow the economy … [KS].
RS, you didn’t mention and critique that.
How do you grow the economy without spending money?
The time old practice (prevalent in all industries/professions) of surrounding oneself with yes people …
Charming footballer? I give Senator David Pocock in Australia
I truly dislike Tory but if Stewart would run for Tory leadership and gets it, I would vote Tory. Fortunately for me, Tory are a tribe of pretentious crooks and Stewart will never be at the conservative helm.
6:29 translation: MI6
Similarly when he says he worked with an army unit based in Hereford, he means the SAS - that is where they are based.

Slow clap for Rory for supporting and engaging with a firm involved in money laundering and corruption
Martinez Thomas Perez Frank Martin Sharon
Yawn, not again. I'm done with Stewart who thimks he's the best PM who never was. Given hismlevels of confusion on many issues, such a relief.
One thing, however, gets overlooked or ignored - massimigration from Asia and Africa to europa.
Which is simply unwanted and unbearable to the population of France , Netherlands, Austria … you name it
As long as politicians argue the difficulty to repatriate those immigrants and their human rights claims to go wherever they please, I’m afraid the right wingers will get stronger
And they are Putins endorser and climate change denial and lots of other unpleasant stuff
However, to get rid of illegal immigration is an overriding topic which will get them elected
And that’s simply a fact - truth

Rory Stewart is a very nice man. But he is very naive.what I am saying is he is a first class prat.
Yet again Rory spends much time pointing out all the problems and failed agendas without any suggestions or answers .I can get that at my local.
What is the name of the local where you can get this type of discussion?
