Carol Ann Duffy: Politics Politics Politics

One of our best loved poets returns with musician John Sampson to discuss Politics, a curated collection of Duffy’s favourite political poems including the titular ‘Politics’, her debut work as Waterstones Poet Laureate that lambasted the MPs' expenses scandal.
