John Bew is Professor in History and Foreign Policy at King's College London[1] and from 2013 to 2014 held the Henry A. Kissinger Chair in Foreign Policy and International Relations at the John W. Kluge Center.[2]
In 2019, Bew joined the Number 10 Policy Unit under Prime Minister Boris Johnson,[3] continuing to serve as foreign policy advisor under successive Prime Ministers Liz Truss and Rishi Sunak. In 2023, the New Statesman described Bew as "the great survivor of Downing Street", and one of the most powerful figures in right-wing British politics.[4] He was dismissed with the formation of Prime Minister Keir Starmer's government in July 2024.[5]
