Summary
This episode was recorded before The Rwanda Bill cleared the Commons
Strapping into the rocket alongside your co-pilots this week is former Fujitsu employee ‘Robin’ who gives an exclusive inside take on what really went on to cause such a huge miscarriage of justice.
Plus, it’s official: the Conservative party has gone full ‘Tonto’ but is Britain's once most reliable party really heading for a breakup?
Allison thinks the country is crying out for a more right-wing Conservative Party, and that Reform UK could really make waves in the next General Election.
Whilst Liam questions whether Reform's policy of abolishing the 'first past the post' approach would be beneficial for the country, as it can lead to endless coalitions and very little being actioned.
But both agree that the issue of small boats and the Rwanda plan currently splitting the party will be a deciding factor in the next election.
And the mailbag is bursting with reader’s response to the Post Office Scandal.
