Llanelli's Conservative MP: Sir Robert Buckland

From joining the Conservative Party in Wales in the 1980s, winning his first local government election in Llanelli in 1993 to holding some of the highest offices of state in the UK Government in the cabinets of PMs Boris Johnson and Liz Truss, Sir Robert Buckland's political career has spanned some extraordinary political times and subverts a number of stereotypes about Welsh politicians. Sir Robert joins us to discuss this journey, his time as Secretary of State for Justice, Lord Chancellor, and Secretary of State for Wales and the extraordinarily turbulent times in government post-EU Referendum, during the Covid pandemic, and the extraordinary circumstances of 2022 at the top of government in Westminster.
