Summary

In this week’s episode, host Steve Anglesey asks if Britain is getting buyer's remorse over Boris Johnson. He takes listeners' thoughts on this issue and on Ken Clarke ahead of speaking with Tim Walker who interviewed Clarke for The New European's latest edition. Walker then joins our host to delve into the interview in detail. Why is there a lack of talent at the top of the political ladder? Has the race to find the next Conservative leader already begun? And, are we nearing an elected dictatorship, or have we already reached one? These are all questions he answers. Plus, Nadine Dorries, Gillian Keegan and George Eustice all feature in the Hall of Shame this week. Enjoyed this episode and the podcast's new shorter, snappier format?
