Summary

Last week’s by-elections left the Tory party wounded, with Labour and the Lib Dems on the front foot. Or are they? The Tories JUST held onto Uxbridge and South Ruislip, and those on the right say that’s down to Labour’s ULEZ policy. Starmer, for some reason, ran with that narrative. Is he losing his nerve over his party’s green policies? And when will the Tories stop shitting on young voters? That’s Oh God, What Now? With this week’s guest, Rachel Cunliffe. “If I were Sunak I’d be tearing my hair out, but the narrative is - it wasn’t that bad really.” – Rachel Cunliffe  “The Lib Dems are like ‘WE ARE KINGS OF THE WORLD’.” – Marie Le Conte “I think Labour are currently making a category error on what the Tories’ strategy is.” – Alex Andreou. “You don’t earn any votes by shitting on young people.” – Marie Le Conte.

Hello and welcome to Oh God What Now. I'm your host Gavin S. Lernon. Today's show,

the fallout from last week's three bi-elections and why all the main parties keep smiling,

1:16.6

despite all three having a lot to think about. The conservatives still have doomed,

1:21.8

but Labour's commitment to his green policies was already shaky before the supposed anti-Uler's

vote in Uxbridge. So, will Cure Starmer's party be able to hold its nerve as we get closer to a

general election? Plus, will politics ever stop dumping on young people? The conservatives won't

are worthless and insulting them as avocado eating, Netflix watching, snowflakes.

1:57.4

Lib Dems don't want to build the houses that young people need, and even Labour is

dialing down the youth focus of the Corbin years for a more cautious approach. We'll be looking

2:06.6

at the neglected young voter and we'll be choosing our heroes and villains of the week too.

So, let's meet today's panel. Marie Lacont is a columnist, an author, and an neglected
