Hello and welcome to political thinking, a conversation with rather than an interrogation of someone who shaped our political thinking about what has shaped theirs. My guest today was told that he has a reading age ofjust eight. His dyslexia was so bad he had to return to school to study in his 20s for the exams that he simply couldnt pass when he was there the first time. He is now dr peter kyle, a close ally of keir starmer s and the shadow Northern Ireland secretary, who, if labour comes to power, may find himself having to take a very important decision whether there should be another referendum about the future of the uk. This time it would be about whether Northern Ireland should leave and become reunited with the republic. Peter kyle, welcome to political thinking. Thanks, nick. I say that in the introduction that you have a reading age of eight. Really . And if so, how on earth do you do the job youve got now . Well, ive never known any difference, so i cant describe i cant com
