Lord Russell Rook: Joining the House of Lords

00:00
00:00

It’s our final episode of the season, and Tim is joined by a familiar voice: Lord Russell Rook of Wimbledon.




He’s been on the podcast before, but earlier this year he was appointed as a Labour Peer by Prime Minister Keir Starmer.




Tim catches up with him to chat about how his faith has shaped his work over the years, and to hear his take on the government’s first year running the country.




Tim also shares his thoughts on the More in Common report, which shows that seven in ten Britons think the country’s heading in the wrong direction, and more and more, it’s the system itself people are losing faith in, not just the politicians.




Tim’s put out a call for financial support to help keep the podcast going. If you’d like to find out more, just head to stewardship.org.uk/partners/AMB.




And as always, if you’ve got a question for Tim, feel free to drop him an email at [email protected].
