Breaking Baz: David Hare, British Playwright & Filmmaker, Casts An Unsparing Eye Over The UK General Election & Reveals He Is Working On A Drama About “The Great Question Of The 21st Century”
David Hare casts an eye over the UK general election and says what he thinks of Rishi Sunak and Keir Starmer.

And David, a day after the election was called, one of his ministers officially answered the question posed by an MP, that the government had no intention of bringing back National Service.
