Summary

School’s out indefinitely across the country as many deal with a concrete crisis. But how much did the government know about this looming fiasco? Meanwhile, parliament is back in session — inflation, small boats and green energy are on the agenda for the Conservatives. Meanwhile, Starmer looks towards the general election with a shadow cabinet reshuffle. Plus a preview of the G20 conference, the latest on Ukraine — and it’s been one year since the Queen died. How does this new era of Britain stack up to the last? Ros Taylor is joined in The Bunker by Alex Andreou to get you prepped for the week ahead. “The metaphor of crumbling schools is a little too on the nose.” – Alex Andreou “Cameron once said Labour failed to fix the roof when the sun was shining. How ironic.” – Ros Taylor “Braverman has failed on every single metric, to an almost farcical level.” – Alex Andreou Support us on on Patreon: www.patreon.com/bunkercast Written and presented by Ros Taylor and Alex Andreou.
