Do faith and politics mix? Tim Farron and Polly Toynbee

Tim Farron is an MP and former leader of the Liberal Democrats. His Christian faith came under scrutiny during the 2017 UK General Election, leading to his resignation as party leader. His autobiography ‘A Better Ambition: Confessions of a faithful liberal’ (SPCK) tells his story.   Polly Toynbee is a well-known journalist, political commentator and vice-president of Humanists UK. Her new book ’The Lost Decade’ analyses the political and social changes of 2010-2020 in the UK.   Tim and Polly engage in a wide-ranging discussion on whether faith convictions are welcome in public life.For Tim Farron https://spckpublishing.co.uk/a-better-ambition For Polly Toynbee https://www.faber.co.uk/9781783351718-the-lost-decade.html Subscribe to our newsletter and receive the free Unbelievable? e-book ‘In Conversation With…’ https://www.premier.org.uk/Unbelievablenewsletter Support the show and receive all the videos sessions from Unbelievable?
