Seizing the Narrative (with Stephen Bush)

Armando Iannucci and Helen Lewis are joined by Stephen Bush to discuss why it's important to have a story to tell in politics. Who's managed to seize the narrative in recent times?

Comedy writer Armando Iannucci and journalist Helen Lewis decode the utterly baffling world of political language.

Are Labour telling a good enough story? Who is the best storyteller in politics? How do you establish a narrative to take control of events, rather than let events define you? To answer these questions, Helen and Armando are joined by Associate Editor and Columnist for The Financial Times, Stephen Bush.
