Summary
A new narrative is taking shape in the media. Rishi Sunak as a grown up, a marked contrast to Johnson and Truss. His 'good weeks' sorting out the Windsor Framework and publishing his tax returns during the busiest news day of the year are encouraging friendly papers to tell its readers not to write the Tories off at the next election. But can this narrative be sustained, in this last full year before a new general election is held?

| 0:00.0 | Hello and welcome to rock and roll politics, the twice weekly podcast with me, Steve Richards. |
| 0:16.2 | Thanks so much for tuning in, wherever you are in the UK and indeed around the West, rest, west, |
| 0:22.5 | the rest, not just the west of the world. Thank you very much. As ever, we've got a lot to |
| 0:28.7 | cram in together. Now, if you hear the occasional background murmur, I'm recording this at an airport. |
| 0:37.2 | You know, I'm on my never-ending tour, the sort of Bob Dylan of |
| 0:40.7 | political journalism. And the plane's been delayed and, you know, you know what it's like with me |
| 0:46.8 | when I travel. I've done whole podcasts on the chaos that erupts. So I won't have time to do it |
| 0:52.3 | when I get to Belfast where rock and roll politics is live. |
| 0:56.0 | So I'm doing it now here in the airport while the planes are all sorted amidst the usual packed chaos. |
| 1:05.0 | Now, as to say, we've got so much to cram in. Before I do, a couple of notices, say rock and roll politics is on a never-ending tour at the moment. |
| 1:13.3 | And I'll be live at the legendary rope tackle in Shoreham on Wednesday evening. |
| 1:21.7 | And then on Saturday, get lots of emails, can you come to the northeast? |

| 1:28.9 | huge, vast area. But rock and roll politics is live at the equally legendary Witham Art Centre in Barnard |
| 1:37.8 | Castle, where else, on Saturday, April the 1st. So why not make a day of it, go for a walk and then come to the Witham for some live rock and roll politics. |
| 1:51.2 | There are more dates, but that will do for the next few days. So I'm now in an airport waiting for a flight. |
| 1:57.0 | I bet this never happens to Bob Dylan. You know, he'll get VIP treatment and go off on some |
| 2:02.6 | private plane. Anyway, we are where we are. And as I start recording, tanoys are erupting around us for the |
| 2:10.1 | first time. But anyway, I hope you can hear this loud and clear. So I'm going to do something |
| 2:16.3 | quite unusual at the beginning, which is to start with a |
| 2:22.4 | couple of your emails, because if you remember those of you who listened to my interview with |
| 2:29.9 | Michael Cockrell in the last podcast, we left it on a bit of a cliffhanger because Michael |
