On Stage
Helen MacNamara and Cleo Watson know what really happens when the door closes. As former Deputy Cabinet Secretary and former political advisor to Theresa May and Boris Johnson, the pair spent years at the very centre of British government, and in The Independent’s hit podcast In The Room they reveal how power actually works. Each week they take apart the biggest stories in Westminster, explaining how decisions are really made at the highest level of government and why things sometimes go spectacularly wrong. Expect sharp analysis, insider knowledge and the occasional story that makes you wonder how the country runs at all. Live at Latitude, they bring that same candour to the stage, lifting the lid on the corridors of power in front of a festival audience.
