Have the Tories Just Given Up?

With the PM and his party on the back foot – have they just given up? Our panel picks apart Sunak’s dither and delay in his sacking of Nadhim Zahawi. Plus, are we seeing a new, even more hostile, hostile environment? And we forcefully quit the anti-growth coalition as we discuss alternatives to Trussonomics. This week’s guest is Rachel Cunliffe, senior associate editor at New Statesman. “If Rishi Sunak didn't know about this, what is the point of ministerial vetting processes? What is the point of saying you’re going to bring integrity back to Government?” – Rachel Cunliffe “Even an experienced PM would struggle to put the box in what Johnson is doing.” – Ian Dunt “All of the things you need to fix the problems that we have takes much longer than Sunak has.” – Ian Dunt “The Tories have a talent pool problem and an exhaustion problem. That is really problematic because we need the best Government we can to weather the storm.” – Miatta Fahnbulleh www.patreon.com/ohgodwhatnow Presented by Andrew Harrison with Ian Dunt and Miatta Fahnbulleh.

Also marvel at the way he tries to shift the debate to: is it good to give money to charity. Just first class comms strategy shifty bullshit of the highest order.

"I didn't *primarily* do it for the money".

Listening to Daniel Hannan's list of Brexit achievements on Radio 4: vaccines, Ukraine, deregulation, Australian trade deals. They're either false, irrelevant, actively self-harming or meaningless. After three years, they have nothing to show for all their nonsense.

Just to confirm: the jokes will be fucking terrible.
