Sir Steve Webb: Coalition Christianity, how to work with believers from other parties
Playback speed
Tim Farron speaks to former MP and Lib Dem minister Sir Steve Webb about the Coalition government and working with Christians of different political persuasions. Steve worked with Iain Duncan Smith in the Department for Work and Pensions - a department jokingly called the 'department for worship and prayer' as there were so many Christians. What was it like working alongside Conservative Christians he disagreed with politically? And how does he feel about the coalition now - will the Lib Dems reap their reward in heaven but not at the ballot box?
