He links some of the most experienced political advisors of the past 40 years, Daniel Finkelstein and Polly Mackenzie with Times radio presenter Hugo Rifkind.
Serving first as Blair's political secretary and then as director of political and government relations, Sally understands the challenge of being a White House unpredictable ally and leading the country in times of tension with the Treasury, a backbench unsettling uncertainty. Her first episode is available today, Thursday, February 27th.
Sally Morgan said: “I'm happy to be part of how to win an election team. My path has exceeded quite a bit over the years with Danny and Polly, and I have been a great admirer of my intelligent, informative and entertaining conversations with Hugo.
“I feel it is really important, especially at such a rapid upheaval, that we have the opportunity to look more reflectively at the big themes that drive politics rather than simply responding to the events of the day.
Hugo Rifkind added:
“He always said she was one of his top three advisors, so I'm also very excited to be in my top three. So far, she's far better than Peter Mandelson, but I'm grateful for her early days.”
