James Naughtie (BSL)

A year of turmoil and torment for leaders. A first minister gone in a flash, two prime ministers forced out. Politics in flux, with a general election on the way. And in the United States the first former president with a criminal indictment tries to find a way back to power next year. What else can it mean but a chance to fill the tent for James Naughtie’s incisive and witty take on politics turned upside down. As ever at the festival, unmissable.
