Episode 46 - Ian Dunt, Author and Political Journalist

How to influence Westminster now



We meet Ian Dunt, author, political journalist and broadcaster








Have you ever wondered what really goes on in Westminster? Maybe you work in policy and are planning how to campaign for change in politically turbulent times? Ian Dunt, author of new bestselling book How Westminster Works…and Why It Doesn’t (https://www.waterstones.com/book/how-...) is here to lift the lid on Westminster and share what he found, and what this tells us about leadership.



As a political journalist and broadcaster, Ian spent several years working in the heart of Westminster. Ian discusses why our political system needs to change, how ministers make decisions, whether politicians getting burned out is a political issue, and how your organisation can influence policy when so much is up in the air. What needs to change about the current system, and how can we make this happen?



This interview will be invaluable for anyone interested in or involved in working with politicians. We’re grateful to Ian for a very thought provoking conversation.



Speaking of politics, Zoe and Paul discuss what’s going on with AI regulation at the start of this episode.
