I have followed Andrew’s career for a number of years and have always been impressed with his handling of media questions, his ability to connect and make connections with people but even more importantly how he managed to get under Boris Johnson’s skin!

This interview was my chance to ask him the questions I always thought and his answers are way better than I could have imagined.

I was most struck by Andew’s drive and determination as a new minister and how he plans to make prevention the key first step to making our country well again and to save our NHS.

We can all be skeptical of politics and many of our politicians.

However this interview is a clear view of a good man, doing his best work to make a difference in the world. From the macro, by changing the law here and in the EU and US to save millions from crushing poverty in Africa. To the local, giving a constituent an opportunity to to receive life saving treatment on the NHS. This is what Labour values in action looks like.

Sam Freedman’s book Failed State is a detailed and fascinating view into the big problems currently within our governmental system. Sam worked alongside Michael Gove and Dominic Cummings within the Department of Education and saw first hand the issues our over centralised government has.

I read the book over the summer and so I wanted to ask Sam more about his analysis - not just a list of issues but also to catergorise and anaylise the significance and impact of each problem.

More importantly Sam explains to me so steps the new Labour government can take to improve how government functions.
