WIMBLEDON EVENTS

The former political adviser and co-host of the UK’s chart-topping podcast, The Rest is Politics, joins BBC presenter Jo Coburn to launch his new book at Wimbledon BookFest.

In recent years, the world of politics has taken a series of disastrous wrong turns. We have witnessed leaders who can’t or shouldn’t be allowed to lead, policies that are either self-serving or don’t work, and governments that seek to undermine our democratic values.

Alastair Campbell’s forthright and impassioned aim in But What Can I Do? is twofold: to explain why things have gone so wrong, and to show what we can practically do to help put them right. Expect a mix of entertaining observations, polemic, analysis and practical advice. Alastair will be in conversation with Jo Coburn, one of the BBC’s most experienced political correspondents who presents Daily Politics.
