Former political adviser and stand up comedian Ayesha Hazarika explains why she thinks humour is such an important part of our political discourse.

"It can be a weapon to attack, or a cloak to shield. But most importantly, it pinpoints the truth about how the world sees you, it shows self-awareness and helps you try to cling on to good faith in bleak times."

Four Thought was recorded at the End of the Road music festival.

Presenter: Mike Williams
Producer: Sheila Cook.
