TATTON SPILLER ON POLITICS

But why do we need to move beyond party politics? Clemmie chats to Tatton Spiller, the person behind the brilliant @simplepolitics account, whose aim is to help the UK have better conversations about politics. Better informed, more tolerant. The chat covers all manners of things and strays into some brave revelations about Tatton’s own mental health, wonky career path and why the current approach to teaching politics in schools is like trying to teach kids about sex by putting a condom on a carrot.  Tatton's Book ‘The Break Down’ is available here.

How to Answer Tricky Questions from Kids by Having Honest Conversation with Yourself’ is available to pre-order now. Got any comments, queries or questions?
