Our Chief Executive, Steve Brace, posed a question on this week’s podcast from The Times’ series ‘How to win an election’.

The Times brings together some of the most experienced strategists in British politics – including political advisor (and former geography teacher) Baroness Sally Morgan – to discuss what’s really going on behind the big political stories.

In this episode Steve Brace asked the question: ‘When Lesotho was described as a country nobody’s ever heard of, is it time for some politicians to take a bit more notice in their geography lessons?’

The hosts discuss this question and also the importance of geography as a school subject and its relevance to the world we live in today.
