How to cause trouble

Henry Porter, UK Editor of Vanity Fair

Henry Porter is the UK Editor of Vanity Fair and a renowned political columnist. Speaking to us just a week after the General Election, Henry gives the inside scoop on the modern media landscape, before telling us why he was compelled to start The Convention – an organisation that holds the debates that parliament won’t.

Along the way, he talks to us about the importance of causing trouble; the dying craft of self-editing; and the power of finishing what you’ve started.

This episode has been recorded at Mark's Club,read by Joseph Bullmore and produced by Martin Lumsden.
