Summary

Accusations of sexual assault and rape against Russell Brand will dominate the news this week. Will this open a new front in #MeToo and lead to lasting change? Plus, after Starmer makes claims about how to manage illegal migration – what are the latest proposals? We also have an update on ongoing Conservative psychodramas including Liz Truss’s failed premiership, Tom Tugenhadt’s plea to appeal to the young, and the parliamentary debut from new Energy & Net Zero Minister Claire Coutinho. Andrew Harrison is joined by Gavin Esler to give you the stories to look out for in the week ahead. “The list of names of Brand’s supporters sounds like the dinner party from hell.” – Gavin Esler “It’s obvious that the world is on the move, and migration will be the story of our lifetime.” – Gavin Esler “With Truss now selling her speeches, should we listen to the lettuce?” – Andrew Harrison Support us on Patreon: www.patreon.com/bunkercast Written and presented by Gavin Esler and Andrew Harrison.
