Summarization
Topics discussed on Rest Is Politics podcast range from economic and political missteps, such as Sunak and Anderson's disappointments, to Brexit and current affairs with figures like Zelensky, Machiavelli, and Putin, to political disagreements turned into podcast gold and the importance of protest in sport. Discussion of politics also focuses on current affairs like voting systems, the stress on STEM rather than Arts/Humanities in schools, and the impact of Brexit. To top it off, a kind mention from the podcast inspired listeners to read The Decade In Tory book and The New European, and spurred the author of a tweet to run in order to mark their sixth birthday.

| 1623645737174155265 | In both the main @RestIsPolitics episode and q and a we discuss the fact that Sunak has missed the enormous opportunity he had to differentiate from Johnson and Truss. The appointment of Anderson just the latest of many Mis-steps making it worse https://t.co/ieQTcj6vQh | 110 |
| 1624800927482802177 | Since it launched last March, @RestIsPolitics has been downloaded 35 million times. How did @campbellclaret and @RoryStewartUK turn political disagreements into podcast gold? @DeccaJourno meets them to find out 👇 https://t.co/BPD47DwQtm | 58 |
| 1626130617921425408 | I woke up to four messages - one from a friend in Vietnam - telling me my East Lothian candidacy had been discussed by @campbellclaret & @RoryStewartUK on this morning’s @RestIsPolitics. The podcast’s huge popularity shows politics isn’t & doesn’t need to be boring. It matters. https://t.co/pIqho7CSNr | 47 |
| 1625771719276257281 | Latest @RestIsPolitics in which we cover the no-longer-secret Brexit talks, tale of 2 Andersons, @LeeAndersonMP_ and @iain_w_anderson, Zelensky tour, why Putin has his eyes on Moldova, and whether Erdogan has mishandled earthquake https://t.co/ieQTcj6vQh | 36 |
| 1625081215790247938 | @RestIsPolitics @RoryStewartUK @campbellclaret At what point do Govt repeal a policy proven to be an ONGOING suicide risk? Is it 3, 4, 10 or more, as with the politicized hand-grenade lobbed at #LoanCharge families? "No material impact on family formation or stability" - who were HMT & HMRC kidding? (Dozing MPs, apparently.) https://t.co/PuWbpR0hj0 | 34 |
| 1625039106664169478 | New episode @RestIsPolitics LEADING with one of greatest athletes of all time @MJGold who calls for more not less protest in sport, rails at Trump and those fanning ‘war’ rather than uniting. Fascinating on race, politics in sport and recovery from stroke https://t.co/ieQTcj6vQh https://t.co/6EuoKFzj60 | 28 |

| 1625072543643357185 | @RestIsPolitics @RoryStewartUK @campbellclaret The Tory's said that the #LoanCharge would have 'no material impact on family formation, stability or breakdown'. This policy has now been directly linked to 10 suicides. How can a government with no integrity be held to account when they get it so wrong? | 22 |
| 1625774889306038273 | The new episode of @RestIsPolitics with @RoryStewartUK & @campbellclaret is another fascinating must listen Listen here; https://t.co/002woPS2H9 https://t.co/njxWKQbDPa | 21 |
