Just in case you haven’t listened to this (and apologies from me – I am rather slow on the uptake here), in July Nick Clegg sat down with Alastair Campbell and Rory Stewart for their “Leading” Podcast series:

Part 1 is entitled “Nick Clegg: Coalition, Cameron and Chaos”. (Link is the Podcast on Apple Podcasts)

Part 2 is called “Nick Clegg: Biden, Brexit, and kicking Trump off Facebook“.

I was very impressed by Nick’s commentary in both the parts. (I should say I have form on this – the last time I was exposed to such a long portion of the Cleggster, in 2007, I was also very impressed – but not so much in the interim!).

Some highlights:

-Nick provides an intriguing counter-narrative of British political history since 2008.
-He mounts an unexpected and passionate defence of populism.
-He has high praise for social media as a force for liberal good in connecting people in a way that hasn’t been possible before.

    I’d like to listen to the podcasts but neither link works. Can you try again?
