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.
