Politics Without The Boring Bits

The Art Of The Political Lunch

Very few people in Westminster have had as many lunches as The Sunday Times' Chief political commentator Tim Shipman. So for the final day of food week, he settles his bet for a big lunch by joining Matt at Hawksmoor in Borough Market, to discuss wining and dining ministers, how he is getting on with his book, and the senior politician who had a cheesy doggie bag. Plus: Columnists India Knight and James Marriot chat about <a href="https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/reasons-to-be-cheerful-in-the-age-of-angst-dc8lspbng" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">cheering up</a>, <a href="https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/my-perfect-summer-spread-barely-needs-a-saucepan-wx6z5k7f0" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">beans</a> and what it takes to be a professional beer taster  Hosted on Acast.
