Episode Synopsis

Charlotte Henry and Emma Burnell discuss the National Conservative Conference, which was held in London this week. Various Tory MPs and ministers took the stage, including the home secretary Suella Braverman and levelling up secretary Michael Gove. Despite many of the speakers saying some deeply troubling things, there has been no sanction against the MPs and ministers who joined the event.

Elsewhere, Rishi Sunak may be facing a number of by-elections, as Boris Johnson looks set to appoint a number of MPs to the House of Lords. Helpful.
