Summary

Sunak is turning climate change policy into the next frontier of his party’s neverending culture war. Why have the Tories lost their minds over green policy? And first, Suella Braverman came up with the big barges. Now it’s massive marquees for migrants. How has the Home Office got this issue so horribly wrong? That’s Oh God, What Now? With special guest, lawyer and author, Sam Fowles. “There’s a danger here that Labour and the Tories are becoming too similar.” – Zoe Grunewald. “It does seem to me that the Tories have been driven mad by that ULEZ campaign.” – Matt Green. “This hasn’t come out of nowhere, this isn’t because Sunak woke up one morning and said ‘god I just love my private jet’.” - Sam Fowles. www.patreon.com/ohgodwhatnow Presented by Alex Andreou with Matt Green, Zoe Grunewald and guest Sam Fowles.
