HARDtalk

Ken Clarke

Duration: 30 minutes

First broadcast: on BBC News EuropeLatest broadcast: on BBC News North America

And yet Ken Clarke says we are now in "the maddest situation" of his lifetime and talks of the political system being "broken". It's one of the reasons he couldn't quite bring himself to retire at the last election, staying on to fight against Brexit and for the Conservative Party. Is it a fight he can win? Show less
