Description
<p>From advising some of the biggest names in British politics to finding freedom in comedy, this week on the last Vintage Politics of the series I’m joined by Baroness Hazarika, broadcaster, comedian, former political adviser and now member of the House of Lords.Over a series of remarkable wines (and the first rosé of the series) we talk about the pressures of family expectation, navigating Westminster, what politics was really like behind closed doors including some pretty bad warm white wines!Ayesha reflects on working at the heart of government, the personalities who shaped her career from Tony Blair to Harriet Harman and the surreal reality of going from the political trenches to becoming Baroness Hazarika. Honest, funny and deeply insightful, this is a conversation about ambition, identity, power and finding your own voice in some of Britain’s toughest institutions.Wines featured:M&S Classics Gavi (<a href="https://www.marksandspencer.com/food/mands-classics-gavi-docg/p/fdp60472878" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">M&S</a>)Bosio Boschedor 2015 (Hedonism)Les Clos Peyrassol 2024 (<a href="https://www.majestic.co.uk/wines/clos-peyrassol-organic-08826" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">Majestic</a>)Glenfarclas 20 Year Old Whisky 1975 (<a href="https://hedonism.co.uk/product/glenfarclas-20-year-old-1975-whisky" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">Hedonism</a>)Barbeito Single Cask Boal Vinha do Charlot 2005 (<a href="https://hedonism.co.uk/product/barbeito-single-cask-boal-vinha-do-charlot-2005" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">Hedonism</a>)</p>
