Overview
If you’ve been tuning into The Rest Is Politics in 2026, you know Katty Kay brings a sharp, transatlantic perspective that’s hard to find anywhere else. Her years as the BBC’s Washington correspondent and her co-hosting with Alastair Campbell and Rory Stewart have made her a fan favorite. And naturally, fans want gear that reflects that connection. Whether you’re after something subtle or a piece that starts a conversation, the official Katty Kay - inspired merch from The Rest Is Politics store has you covered.
Details
Katty’s style - both personal and on-mic - leans toward smart, understated pieces that still pack a punch. The merch line follows that lead: clean designs, quality materials, and references that only true listeners will clock.

- Katty Kay Signature T-shirt - A classic crewneck in soft cotton, featuring a minimal line-art portrait of Katty with her trademark smile. $30. Available in navy and heather grey.
