Jennifer Nadel - Broken Politics & Compassion in Politics

In this eye-opening episode, we dive into the mental wellbeing crisis within UK politics. Our guest, a veteran journalist with over 40 years of experience covering Westminster, reflects on the shocking scale of the issue, brought to light in the BBC documentary “Broken Politicians, Broken Politics.”

How deep is the problem? And more importantly, what can be done?

We explore the work of Compassion in Politics and discuss how the science of compassion and cross-partisan initiatives are helping MPs and government staff. Can the system really be reformed for more compassion in politics?

Plus, practical tips on how politicians – and those who support them – can build resilience and foster compassion, even in the toughest environments. We wrap up with: how to find light at the end of this political tunnel?
