Often described as the second most powerful figure in Britain during the Blair governments, Alastair Campbell was pivotal as a strategist in leading New Labour to victory in 1997. In recent years Campbell has become a podcasting sensation as the co-host of The Rest is Politics podcast, dissecting what’s gone wrong in British politics – and more – with former Conservative Party minister Rory Stewart. For this episode, he comes to the Intelligence Squared to discuss what to do about the chaos of current British politics. Drawing on his latest book But What Can I Do? he explores what he sees as the radicalisation of the Tory party, Labour's position on Gaza, and whether Keir Starmer has what it takes to be the first Labour leader since Tony Blair to lead Labour into government. This is the first of a three-part discussion. Intelligence Squared Members can listen to all three instalments, including the Members-only Part Three, immediately.

  • Hello and welcome to Intelligence Squared, where great minds meet.

  • I'm head of programming, Connor Boyle.

  • Coming up on the podcast, Alastair Campbell as a voice in UK politics.

  • He's been omnipresent for the past 30 years, originally as a newspaperman, then as one of the architects of the new Labour government in the mid nineties 1990s.

  • In later years, hes become most well known as one half of arguably the most successful political podcast in the UK.

  • And yet hes never entered the political fray as an elected leader himself.

  • He has a new book, but what can I do?

  • Just out in paperback, which encourages its readers to get involved and rethink some of the more deeply ingrained ideas about politics.

  • And recently, very recently, as in last night, as I record this, he joined Josh Glancy, editor of the news Review at the Sunday Times, to discuss it all at a special sold out Intelligence Square event at Londons Union Chapel.

  • This conversation is in three parts and intelligence squared members can get all three installments.
