That was my dilemma as a Party chair. Rory is far more capable of winning a General Election, but Boris is far better for us as he will likely split the Conservative supporters. If it were not for Brexit, I would be hoping for Boris to sweep in and destroy the Tory party. As it is, I was hoping Rory would make it through as he was the only candidate that consistently held realistic and centrist positions.

He’s not spilled anything. That was already common knowledge. It is designed to protect innocent people who might be connected in some way with people whom the newspapers might otherwise claim were “spies”: Because if those reports were believed by those who were spied upon, they might also infer that those connected (innocently) with the “spies” were themselves spies. I’ve worked for companies involved in the arms trade before now, and received security briefings to educate me about how spies operate and what to be wary of. This was fundamental to that sort of briefing.

"Back to [his] day job." Apparently not because according to Stewart, if Boris wins the leadership contest, and it seems very likely he will, Stewart said he will not serve in the cabinet under Boris. Which as far as I am concerned is a bonus.

I'm not a Tory voter but politics needs people like Rory. I've a lot of respect for him.

A shame he voted for the austerity cuts and believes that those cuts didn't effect the most vulnerable in our society. He was doing so well ...

Rory Stewart sums up what a politician should be. I may not agree with some of what he says but there is no doubt in my mind that he cares about the country and people in it.

a tory even mentioning the poorest among us with compassion is quite remarkable. THAT, if replicated through a large minority of tory MPs, would represent to me a MASSIVE shift in the tory mindset...A damascene conversion, the likes of which i never thought i would live to see. power on Mr Stewart, power on.

What I'm hearing from many of these conversations is people crying out for decentralising power away from Westminster - Government is too remote, too unrepresentative, and too unresponsive. Imagine if each town/city/municipality had a local government/Mayor with *real* power, who could listen and respond to local needs? We're one of the most centralised countries in the developed world, and possibly the most in the EU. Only 5 per cent of revenue is raised locally, as compared with 50 per cent in Canada. And London's Mayor only has control of over around 7% of taxes collected in the capital- which pales in comparison with New York, where the mayor gets to keep 50% of all tax receipts, or Tokyo, where it’s more like 70%. I think devolution would be the single most significant thing the government could do to fix many of this country's problems. Fiscal decentralisation is associated with higher national income, better school performance and higher levels of investment. It also promotes greater experimentation, better matching of services to local preferences and greater competition between providers of government-funded services.

the only morally intact (ex) tory MP i've ever come across. hopefully he doesn't stay away from Westminster for too long. we NEED folks like him.

very good interview, precise and technical, getting into the real pertinent facts

The only genuine politician whose every word you listen to because it means something....and after thinking about it admiring his intelligence and articulacy. I genuinely like the guy.

Would have liked the question about Stewart's support of austerity have specifically and directly addressed the people who have suffered and been killed by the policy and not allowed him to have gotten away with Jesusing the bottom 10% issue.

Rory Stewart is the Eddard Stark of politics.

More of this Gary, a John McDonnell and a Vince Cable interview would be interesting, Rory Stewart is refreshing, doesn't shy away from the obvious difficult truths that need to be said, just like Vince and John, Tell it like it is and you gain respect, Lie, cheat and deceive and go for sound bites and all you will do is spend all your time responding to questions about your character and the important issues get ignored, Rory is now one of my 3 best MP's, the Tory's made a big mistake, it won't take them long to realise Boris bought their loyalty with undeliverable promises as Gary alluded to hopefully Rory will get another chance, When Brexit takes it's the 3rd scalp, I can't wait to see the car crash, very bad for the country, hilarious daily amuse bouche "I paint model cardboard buses" for example, it seemed like he was trying to convince himself of this revelation as he was saying it, not being mimed to off camera at all though, Fantastic work, as usual, the whole team create quality content, Hopefully, you will be relocating to Leeds and we can hear more northern issues.

He is only man to confront Jeremy Corbyn.

Thank you for your response. Can UK not continue to be part of the Customs Union and take time off to decide as a nation what kind of a relationship with the EU it wants?

4 billion going on 5 wasted over three 3yrs... Do these politians realise how many have suffered with there policy's to go and waste this kind of public money.... 350 on a bus seems like penny's

I’m not a natural Tory voter but Rory is starting to make a lot of sense. He seems to genuinely care about and is not afraid to get amongst the people. I can’t help but like him, except when he talks about Corbyn and the Russians!

As a labour voter in his constituency, I have written to him several times on various issues (national and local) and he always replies in full (not some obvious copy and paste job). He seems the real deal and works very hard. Just a shame that he has spent the best part of a decade propping up such a cruel government that has crippled this country.

Good thoughtful interview

My new favourite politician. Pragmatic, rational & honest. Three things that are massively lacking in Britain right now.

Firstly if Rory thinks that live streaming someone’s rant about whatever their particular hobby horse is, however well intentioned, is a radical new way of doing politics as opposed to a shallow political stunt, I’ve seriously over estimated the man in the past. Secondly, if he’s too bored to spend his time representing his constituents that he feels the need to gladfly all over the country I’d suggest maybe the voters in the Lake District could find someone else who is interested in representing their interests in Parliament.

Love a good knitted tie.

All pomp set aside, this guy seemed like most well reasoned and thoroughly thought out of all the candidates. Wish reason was more persuasive.

He is the true star of British politics and the Conservative MPs just couldn’t see it. They will regret kicking him out as the people love him and his sincerity. People can see through those politicians and know who to trust in the future.

Perfect example of style over substance. He has the same policies as the rest of the Tories but people suddenly love him just because of the way he carries himself.

Really knows his stuff and isn't afraid to tell the truth. The English electorate will undoubtedly misunderstand him.

Me thinks that this guy will be PM in the very near future.

i don't confuse liking someone with believing in their policies, but he's a nice man and he represents the centre we're in danger of losing to the extremes and hysteria, which i hate. I am Green, and i'm not deluded that he shares my views on the NHS either (take it back into public ownership), but he reminds me of Tories i've known and know and get on well with and share a lot of views with. But if he thinks the Tory party should be put ahead of the country, i can't go there with him. PMs come and go, but breaking up the union and leaving the EU are far more permanent than a Corbyn government.

Continuing the theme of the rest of the comments here.....he seems a jolly nice, honest type of chap. I'm sure he can't be lying to me....

If they feel a Brexiteer has a weakness regarding their private life they will start with those questions when the public just want their democratic decision implemented.

RS should try to work along with BJ, he seems to speak sensible - realistic, logical and smart.

Sincere decent man, hope he gets to be prime minister in the near future.

Politicians like Rory Stewart keep on talking about climate change but politicians have totally failed to do anything about It for the last 3 decades. Why should one believe them now? Given the obsession with the climate, there is not much Discussion about other environmental issues, like overpopulation, deforestation overfishing and so on. Humans have totally failed to solve easier problems like light pollution, let alone more difficult ones? As for the EU, Mr. Stewart should say Britain should cancel Brexit

You're certainly correct that far too little has, thus far, been done with respect to a whole raft of environmental issues. The acceleration of climate change through the effects of industrialisation is certainly a good candidate for the most urgent and important environmental issue. I don't see that he keeps talking about it as a negative. Keeping the discussion active, keeping the profile high, bringing more and more people to care about it is precisely the sort of actions that generally lead to governments in democratic nations adjusting their priorities to take public opinion into account. Like you I am frustrated with the level of achievement. I'm happy to see a Conservative politician on the right side of the issue.
