In June, Rory Stewart, a former Cabinet minister and co-presenter of the popular podcast 'The Rest is Politics' spoke to Katy Colton, Partner and Head of the Politics and Law Group, about his new book, Politics On the Edge, a searing insider's account of his ten tumultuous years in Parliament. The book covers his experiences handling ministerial responsibilities during crises such as flood response and prison violence, his international work on conflict and poverty as a foreign minister, and his insights into Brexit as a Cabinet minister.
Over a decade starting in 2010, Rory's political journey took him from an outsider to a contender for Prime Minister, culminating in his departure from a Conservative Party that had dramatically changed.
