Podcast appearances and mentions of Rory Stewart

In a wide-ranging conversation with Cumberland Lodge and the St Paul's Cathedral Institute, The Rt Hon Rory Stewart OBE takes on on some of the most pressing questions of our time. A former UK Cabinet Minister, diplomat, and bestselling author, Rory brings a unique perspective to the table from extensive experience across the Middle East, and as the MP for Penrith and the Border. His acclaimed books, including 'Politics on the Edge' and his latest, 'Middleland: Dispatches from the Borders', explore the complexities of governance, community, and identity. This conversation is held in partnership between Cumberland Lodge and The St Paul's Cathedral Institute.

The ambulance service says 89 people have been injured, with 11 of them suffering "very serious injuries". We report from near the scene of the collision.Also in the programme: after Andy Burnham's Makerfield by-election win, he's expected to challenge Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer. Labour MP Rachael Maskell tells us Mr Burnham wants to change the culture of British politics. And former Conservative minister Rory Stewart has some advice for Sir Keir on when it's time to quit.

The UK, Ireland, France, Spain, and Portugal shattered their May heat records last week. Scenes reminiscent of high summer arrived months early, across Western Europe. And like all extreme weather events, there was a human toll. Infrastructure under strain, health services stretched, and lives lost. But as records fell, the political conversation was moving in the other direction. Former UK Prime Minister Tony Blair published a lengthy essay calling on the government to halt its net zero acceleration and prioritise cheap energy. Rory Stewart made a similar case on The Rest is Politics, invoking AI data centres and industrial competitiveness. Both are figures from the centre of British politics. Neither is a climate denier. So what's happening? This week, Tom Rivett-Carnac and Christiana Figueres sit with this dissonance. They ask what it means when hopelessness becomes self-sustaining, a cultural condition as much as a feeling. They ask whether grief, properly faced, might be what unlocks action rather than foreclosing it. And they look at the history of transformations that began long before success seemed likely.Is the real crisis not just the climate, but one of agency? And what does it take to act with conviction when outcomes are genuinely uncertain?Learn More:☀️ See Severe Weather Europe's recap of the historic heat dome across Europe

The price of oil is surging today after missiles pounded Iranian refineries, causing the stuff to rain from the sky. Iran says it will respond by attacking oil facilities across the Gulf, which will cause economic chaos. That's why Senator Lindsay Graham debuted a new justification this weekend: Change the regime, control the oil. Meanwhile, Mojtaba Khamenei is the new Ayatollah; replacing his assassinated father. Far from being a US or an Israeli pick, he's a radical hardliner with the singular mission of saving the Iranian regime and he enters the war in the mood for vengeance; with much of his family obliterated. It's hard to see how this doesn't spell chaos for President Trump, for the United States, and for the rest of the world. Joining Piers Morgan to discuss this is CNN's chief international anchor Christiane Amanpour, Article 3 Project senior counsel Will Chamberlain, American presenter Owen Shroyer, former Trump spokeswoman and deputy communications director Caroline Sunshine and former MP and host of The Rest is Politics, Rory Stewart.

This week, we start with cursed Valentine's poetry from...Greg Wallace and a rogue “dangler", before plunging straight into the political sewer. Rory Stewart decides that £94k counts as “low income”, Trump posts a racist video in the middle of the night and then immediately blows up his own press office's cover story, and Labour descends into full‑blown chaos as Morgan McSweeney finally exits stage left.Marina and Jemma pick through the wreckage: Wes Streeting's leaked war‑crimes admission, Mandelson's potential fingerprints over Palantir, and a Labour Party so busy chasing Reform voters it's forgotten its own base. It's maddening, it's bleakly funny, and it's exactly why The Trawl exists - because someone has to sift through this BS.

If there is even a 1% chance that AI could destroy us, should we keep building it? Are we creating machines that will one day outthink humanity? And is the race to dominate AI accelerating us toward a future we're unprepared to face? This week, Yoshua Bengio joins Rory Stewart and Matt Clifford for an AI deep dive. A Turing Award–winning pioneer of deep learning, Bengio helped build the field, and is now one of its most urgent critics, warning that without restraint, the risks ahead could be profound.

Over the course of a decade in politics Rory Stewart saw how power really works and what forces drive our communities apart. He was a backbench MP, held several ministerial positions, and stood for prime minister – before being sacked from a Conservative Party that he had come to barely recognise. Now, well away from the political arena, he regularly shares his insights into current affairs and global politics as co-host of the UK's leading political podcast, The Rest Is Politics. In October he came to Intelligence Squared to discuss the state of Britain and the world today. He drew from his new book 'Middleland: Dispatches from the Borders' to discuss his decade as MP of one of Britain's most rural constituencies, Penrith and The Border. And he argued that to truly create a better future for all we must understand the tensions that exist between rural and urban, between farming and the natural world, between the need to preserve and to grow, and between local and national politics. Bridges must – and can – be built, he argued. The event was hosted by former MP and author Caroline Lucas.

Does excluding countries from sport and culture really achieve anything?Author and podcaster Rory Stewart joins Iain in the studio to take LBC listeners' calls.

This is a relaunch of a previous episode, but the lessons contained within it are as important today as they were when we sat down to speak over two years ago. Rory Stewart has spent his life running toward gunfire. At thirty, he was governing millions of Iraqis under siege, rockets landing in his compound while insurgents climbed the walls. Years earlier, he'd walked six thousand miles across Afghanistan, Pakistan, Iran and India – surviving on strangers' floors, dodging bullets, and at one point sitting down in the snow ready to freeze to death until his dog Babur barked him back to life. Then he tried to fix British politics from the inside – becoming Prisons Minister, running for Prime Minister, and standing as an Independent for London Mayor before Covid cancelled the election seven weeks out and ended his political career. Today he's the force behind the podcasting phenomenon The Rest Is Politics – currently touring the country giving erudite political commentary. While his most recent book, Middleland, launched last month (October 2025), draws on pieces originally written for a local newspaper when he was serving as an MP in Cumbria, it is an urgent and inspiring portrait of rural Britain today. LESSONS YOU'LL LEARN:Permission to fail breeds confidence - Rory's father set impossibly high expectations while making him feel it was okay to fail. That paradox became the foundation for handling extreme crisis without paralysis.Beware thinking in clichés during crisis - Under siege in Iraq, Rory evacuated civilians into an ambush because he fell into a "women and children first" narrative. When you're living the movie version instead of the real version, you make dangerous decisions.Animals are crisis teachers - Babur the dog saved Rory's life by refusing to let him give up in the snow. Animals approach the world with courage, presence, and forgiveness.Bitterness is backwards motion - After being defeated by Boris Johnson, Rory struggled with anger. Whenever you have bitter days, you always go backwards. It's not just bad for you – it's terrible for everyone around you.Test yourself before crisis finds you - By voluntarily embracing discomfort and risk when you don't have to, you build the capacity to handle it when you must.

Emma Barnett is a broadcaster, journalist and author who we admire hugely. She is one of the BBC's most high-profile journalists who is currently part of the presenting team on BBC Radio 4's Today programme - as well as previously hosting Women's Hour and Newsnight. Alongside her incredible broadcasting career, Emma has also become a powerful advocate for women's health - having chosen to speak up about her very difficult IVF journey as well as struggling with both endometriosis and adenomyosis. Emma told us about why she chose to bring her private reality into light to advocate for women's health and to disrupt the assumptions that we may hold about ‘serious' news presenters. We also spoke to Emma about interviewing Kate Bush, what happened when she called out Rory Stewart for lying on air and why she is concerned about women feeling the need to be liked all the time. Experiences that have reshaped lives. Bold questions, unexpected truths, lots of tea... Emma Barnett invites you into her world for deeply human conversations.

Why did Boris Johnson and the British government not only fail to listen, but actively try to suppress early warnings about the pandemic? How did groupthink and optimism bias cripple the UK's response? And is Britain's government structurally too slow to handle future threats like AI and Putin's increasing aggression in Europe? Join Rory and Alastair as they answer all these questions and more. __________ The Rest Is Politics is powered by Fuse Energy. The Rest Is Politics is powered by Fuse Energy.

Deze week bespreekt Annette van Soest met Diederik Samsom, een van de architecten van de Green Deal en auteur van het boek “Groene Supermacht”, de staat van het klimaatbeleid in Europa. Want de Green Deal die hij samen met Frans Timmermans in de steigers zette staat onder druk. Zowel in de Raad als in het Parlement wordt er aan belangrijke klimaatmaatregelen gemorreld. Maar volgens Samsom is het nog niet te laat. Hoe komt klimaat weer bovenaan de politieke agenda? Welke stappen moet de EU zetten? En hoe wordt Europa een groene supermacht? Dat hoor je hier.

In her latest novel, One Aladdin Two Lamps, the writer Jeanette Winterson takes inspiration from the legendary story of Shahrazad in One Thousand and One Nights. But she calls on the reader to look again at stories we think we know, unpick how fiction works, and have the courage to challenge and change the narrative.The saxophonist and presenter Soweto Kinch will perform his new album, Soundtrack to the Apocalypse, with the London Symphony Orchestra (at the Barbican, London, on Friday 14th November), combining British jazz, hip-hop and orchestral music. This is the finale of his acclaimed trilogy of politically charged, genre-defying works that tell different stories of the past, present and future. The former MP Rory Stewart spent nearly a decade in Britain's most rural constituency, Penrith and Borders, and wrote a column for a local newspaper. In Middleland: Dispatches from the Borders he's collected together these fragmentary moments from rural life and local politics to capture a wide-ranging portrait of life and stories from the Cumbrian countryside. Producer: Katy Hickman Assistant Producer: Natalia Fernandez

In this week's Media Confidential, the co-founder of podcasting giant Goalhanger, Tony Pastor, reveals the drama behind The Rest is Politics and the secrets to the podcast's success.He, Alan and Lionel chat about the podcast revolution and how the Covid-19 pandemic transformed the audio landscape in the UK. Plus, Tony explains how each host gets ‘chemistry tested' before a new series, which podcasts aren't worth listening to—and how the video renaissance is changing everything. Hosted on Acast.

...in which we are joined by broadcaster, author, long-distance walker and former MP for Penrith and the Border, Rory Stewart, to discuss his new book, Middleland – Dispatches from the Borders. In a wide-ranging discussion about the 'lost kingdom of Middleland', Dave chats with Rory about long walks through the Lake District and Borderlands, about the joys of post-walk pub stays (warm socks, a book by the fire), and the meditative pace of multi-day rambles. Moving to farming, Rory raises the alarm over a new era of small farm 'clearance', urges caution over rewilding a heritage landscape, and argues that binary thinking is impeding a subsidy regime that would champion nature-based farming. Grappling with a 'Middleland' identity, we consider why the reality of Cumbria – sparsely populated, mountainous, complex – questions so many assumptions at the heart of modern politics, and learn why we should not lose confidence in our National Parks. Facing our quickfire questions, Rory describes his earliest Cumbrian memory (rescue from a snow-blocked A6 aged four), his fondness for Penrith fudge and his love of Striding Edge. Closing on a note of positivity; Rory reflects on the fact that – despite its challenges – Cumbria remains a place in which tens of thousands of people contribute to a place that brings "a type of joy, meaning and happiness that is elusive elsewhere". Rory's new book, Middleland, is out today.

The Green Party has gone off the rails. From breast-hypnosis hustlers rising to leadership to deputy leaders shouting “Allahu Akbar” while excusing Hamas, Britain's Greens are no longer about the environment – they've become the latest vehicle for Islamo-woke politics.

As Infosecurity Europe prepares to mark its 30th anniversary, Portfolio Director Saima Poorghobad shares how the event continues to evolve to meet the needs of cybersecurity professionals across industries, sectors, and career stages.
