SIM Ep 242 Chops 101: The politics of drugs

Michael Gove's recent admission that he took cocaine in the past has seemingly affected his chances of becoming our next Prime Minister. But does anyone actually care? And if so, why? We chat to two experts, political commentator Ayesha Hazarika, and host of the Say Why To Drugs podcast Dr Suzi Gage, about who is really driving the conversation on drug use in the UK, about whether honesty is the best drugs policy and about who, if anyone, is winning the war on drugs.
