David Miliband talks to Martha Kearney

A Personal Analysis of the Political Landscape

Hay Festival 2026, 

The former Foreign Secretary and one-time Labour leadership contender shares his assessment of what’s going on in the world and what the future might hold at home and abroad. David Miliband was at the heart of New Labour and served in both the Blair and Brown governments. Since 2013, he’s been based in Washington as head of the International Rescue Committee, which works with people whose lives have been shattered by conflict or disaster.

He talks to journalist Martha Kearney in this compelling conversation from a key global player with intimate knowledge of Westminster politics and the international stage.
