George W Bush, 1924-2018 (Greg Smith/Corbis/Getty)


I joined BBC Radio 5 Live on Saturday to discuss the times and legacy of George H.W. Bush, the 41st President of the US, who has died at the age of 94.

The chat begins with this answer to the question, “Would it be fair to say that George H.W. Bush will be better judged for his foreign policy than for his domestic policy?”

For me, Bush is better judged by many people liking him and by his pragmatism, given there was a great deal of uncertainty and arguably failures to deal with both foreign policy and domestic policy.
