Bonus Episode Two - Another Gary Kent One

Over the past thirty years, Gary Kent has been one of the most influential figures in shaping Labour foreign policy. Yet few people know his name. From the Good Friday Agreement, to the Iraq invasion, to the decision to go to war against ISIS, Leo gets the inside track on some of the most important and controversial decisions in Labour foreign policy, from the man with a front row seat.

In the second of two episodes with Gary Kent, Leo asks Gary about the invasion of Iraq in 2003 and the enduring legacy of the conflict in the region and back home. We hear about his work leading the Iraq solidarity movement and we hear in depth about Gary's relationship with the Iraqi Kurds and his current work developing their ties with the U.K Government.
