He will share insights from his time tackling ministerial briefs on flood response and prison violence, engaging with conflict and poverty abroad as a foreign minister, and navigating Brexit as a Cabinet minister.
In conversation, Rory will explore themes of populism, Brexit, and global conflict while delving into his instant number one Sunday Times bestseller, Politics On The Edge.
