How I brought down Theresa May

Christopher Howarth on his role in removing a prime minister

On this week’s Critic podcast, our Online editor David Scullion speaks to Christopher Howarth about the plot to remove Theresa May from office.

Christopher’s article is in the July issue of The Critic which will be available in shops from Thursday.
