Welcome to Intelligence Squared, where great minds meet. I'm producer Mia Sorenti. For this episode, we're rejoining for part two of our recent live event with former British politician Sajard Javid. Javid joined us recently at the Shaw Theatre to discuss his memoir The Colour of Home and his experiences at the centre of British political. life.

He was in conversation with broadcaster Ritila Shah. If you haven't heard part one, we recommend jumping back an episode to get up to speed. Now let's rejoin the conversation live at the Shaw Theatre in London. A brief content warning for this episode. This discussion includes personal experiences of racism and discrimination and contains strong language, including racist and offensive terms.

There are so many good stories. I'm going to jump ahead because I want to get through quite a lot more. I'm not asking it all because they won't buy the book. We're not going to have time for them all. There's too many.

That is the first couple of minutes. The rest is $1.49.
