David Dimbleby was for decades the face of election programs on
the BBC. He anchored coverage of 10 UK general elections, as well
as the 1975 and 2016 referendums on European membership, the
funeral of Princess Diana and a host of other royal and state
occasions.

He’s seen prime ministers come and go, from Margaret Thatcher to
Tony Blair and many more since. With Prime Minister Keir Starmer
facing a potential leadership challenge, Dimbleby is uniquely
placed to understand the characters and conflicts shaping
Britain’s volatile politics today.

In this conversation with Mishal Husain he gives his take on
Starmer, Andy Burnham and Nigel Farage.
