Alastair Campbell and Julia Gillard: in conversation

27Novcambell gillard

For decades, Alastair Campbell has been a leading voice in UK politics. As the former Director of Communications for Prime Minister Tony Blair, he played a pivotal role in shaping New Labour's messaging and guiding the party to three consecutive electoral victories and has recently taken the podcasting world by storm with his chart-topping show The Rest Is Politics, hosted with Rory Stewart.

Beyond politics, he is also a passionate advocate for mental health, speaking openly about his own struggles with depression, anxiety and addiction in order to reduce stigma, including in his 2021 book, Living Better: How I Learned to Survive Depression.

Join us shortly after International Men’s Day as Alastair speaks to former Prime Minister of Australia and GIWL Chair Julia Gillard about diverging attitudes between young men and women, how these intersect with men's health and wellbeing today, and what it means for the future of politics.
