Rory Stewart was a British politician with a wide experience of the world, who worked in a variety of Ministerial jobs and ran for the leadership against Boris Johnson.

His honesty about his own failings and the failings of the political system that we currently have, make him an endearing guide to life at the top of the political tree. He is a brilliant writer and a decent man, which makes him a rarity in today’s political landscape.

The reality of ministerial life and the helplessness of conviction politicians which he reveals is truly shocking.
