He’s been the youngest ever chair of the Foreign Affairs Select Committee with a military career served in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Tom Tugendhat MBE MP is an Arabic speaker and a fervent supporter of Israel who names of one the Jewish state’s Prime Ministers as a political hero(ine), Golda Meir.
He takes this opportunity to pay tribute to the small band of Jewish soldiers serving in the British military.
This episode remembers Lieutenant Paul Mervis from the 2nd Battalion, The Rifles, who was killed near Sangin in northern Helmand, Afghanistan in June 2009.
He’s campaigning for the Law of Treason to apply to terrorist atrocities committed at home by British citizens after the unspeakable murders of fellow MPs Sir David Amess and Jo Cox and according to our mutual friend, Nick Timothy, former chief of staff at number 10, he’d make a great Foreign Secretary.
I met Tom for the first time a few months before this interview as he helped launch EMAN, the Extremist Monitoring Analysis Network which aims to "combat hate speech and extremist ideologies by profiling radical individuals and organisations of all faiths".
This is Tom Tugendhat MBE MP.
