Laura Kuenssberg: Pay Attention

Worried? Bewildered? Had enough of the chaos?

The UK used to pride itself on being sensible, its politics, a little bit dull. But with yet another Prime Minister booted out of Number 10 that reputation is in tatters. Politics has become a brutal soap opera, and our politicians all too often sucked into the drama rather than focusing on what matters to our lives.

Delving into her own experience over two decades of reporting on our politicians up close - from the shock of the financial crash to the schisms of Brexit and the revolution of social media - Laura Kuenssberg explores today's stark political truths, finding they are sometimes wilder than fiction.

With clarity, humour, authority, and urgency, Kuenssberg pays attention to the forces, impulses and personalities that have brought us to this point. And as she gets beyond the drama to help us pay attention to how we got here, she reveals the most urgent truth of all: that it's time for politicians who represent the public, to pay more attention to us.

Laura Kuenssberg presents BBC One's flagship interview programme, Sunday with Laura Kuenssberg, the award-winning podcast, Newscast, and hosts the BBC's election coverage. She will be in conversation talking about her new book Pay Attention (Corsair)
