Politics Unpacked
The Political Editors: Philip Webster
•
Philip Webster was political editor at the Times for 18 years, a colossus of the Blair and Brown eras who survived nine editors at the paper. He tells Matt about writing the story that killed Tony Blair's dreams of joining the Euro, getting stuck on Margaret Thatcher's battle bus, and what happened when he was locked up in Africa with Neil Kinnock.
The Political Editors is half a century of politics told by the people who wrote the first draft of history for the Times.
Plus: Manveen Rana and Matthew Holehouse discuss what the death of Yevgeny Prigozhin means for Russia, the Conservative MPs rounding on the immovable Nadine Dorries, and which portraits ministers are hanging on their office walls.
