Rory Stewart on David Cameron’s return and Suella Braverman’s sacking

What should lead the news? Three people pitch the story they think matters most to Tortoise editor-in-chief James Harding.

Rishi Sunak has sacked his home secretary and appointed a former prime minister as foreign secretary. Rory Stewart, former cabinet minister and author of ‘Politics on the Edge’, joins the Tortoise team to discuss that and the situation at Gaza’s Al-Shifa hospital.

You can listen to a longer conversation between Rory Stewart and James Harding about his book, his political career and what he might do next in a bonus episode, which will be out on Wednesday.
