Listen "Are we Heading For a 1997-Style Tory Wipeout?"
Episode Synopsis
A new in-depth poll by YouGov caused waves as it predicted a wipeout for Rishi Sunak and the Conservatives at the next General Election. Some were keen to put a particular spin on it, claiming Reform was the key issue. The pollsters were not impressed...
In the same week, there was a row over Rwanda (again). Two Conservative deputy chairmen resigned and Therese Coffey got herself in a muddle. Ultimately, the Bill passed but it now faces the Lords.
