Matters of Interest: Politicians Changing Names & Funding Political Parties

In this week's Matters of Interest, Richard shares some remarkable examples of leading British politicians who have chosen not to go by the name they were given at birth. Who did it? And why? Then Lee discusses the recent reforms to political donations in Australia, with a lively discussion about the need for - and the pitfalls of - reforming the way we fund our political parties.Did you know that there is a Since Attlee & Churchill Substack, including bonus podcasts?
