Matt Forde, Jack Straw

Matt Forde (talkSPORT & BBC Radio 4) hosts a new comedy night combining topical stand-up and a big interview with a political heavyweight. A celebration of politics with “a first-class comic” (The Guardian).

Tonight’s guest is Jack Straw MP. The former Foreign Secretary was one of only 3 people to serve continuously in Cabinet for the entirety of new Labour’s 13 years in office. In his recent memoir ‘Last Man Standing’, he claims that he could have prevented the Iraq war but still believes it was the right decision. An MP since 1979, he has also been Home Secretary, Justice Secretary and Leader of the House.

Jack Straw was at the heart of government, if you’ve ever wanted to ask him a question, this is your chance.
