Sixty years ago Martin Luther King gave his famous "I Have a Dream" speech, which went onto shape modern America. Hugo Rifkind asks a panel of former Downing Street speechwriters what makes King's speech so good, and what lessons Rishi Sunak and Keir Starmer can learn from the great orators of political history.


Plus: Columnists Libby Purves and Zoe Strimpel on Theresa May's new book, the rights and wrongs of preaching "virtues" and what to wear at a music festival.
