Rory Stewart caused a buzz when he challenged Boris Johnson for
leadership of the Conservative Party. He did not win the
leadership, but he won widespread support for his ‘Rory Walks’
campaign across the United Kingdom, from Brits of all political
stripes. He is also known for his walks across Afghanistan, where
he was hunted by the Taliban in the mountains between Herat and
Kabul at the height of the United States occupation in 2001.
Stewart has been a diplomat, a politician, a soldier and - some say
- a spy. But you’ll find him today championing one of his biggest
passions - international aid, as the head of GiveDirectly, one of
the biggest international charities in the world. One Decision’s
Julia Macfarlane and Sir Richard Dearlove talk with Stewart and
discuss whether the United Kingdom’s handling of its aid and soft
power has seen better days, and what it means for Britain’s place
in the world.
