Festival of Politics - Evan Davis: The Post-Truth Toolkit

As a broadcaster, Evan Davis has seen and heard it all, from Newsnight to Dragons' Den and Radio 4's Today programme. Evan was in conversation with the Presiding Officer as they discussed his new book, 'Post-Truth: Why We Have Reached Peak Bullshit and What We Can Do About It', which provides a toolkit to handle the kinds of deceptions we encounter every day, and a route through the muddy waters of the post-truth age.

Festival of Politics - Harriet Harman MP: A Woman's Work

As one of Britain's most prominent campaigning politicians, twice deputising as leader of the Labour Party and the country's longest-serving female MP, Rt. Hon.
