Summary

Rishi Sunak promised an end to sleaze after the dark days of Johnson. But has his faux competency made us take our eyes off the ball? Plus, it’s not just lorries stuck in Calais. Our panel discusses the impact Brexit has had on the music industry and why it’s now so tough to get a gig in Great Britain. “The first rule when you’re talking about trust is don’t keep banging on about trust.” - Ros Taylor “Sunak just simply thinks that his wife’s financial affairs are separate from his own – but that’s not a sustainable position.” - Ros Taylor “How do any of these MPs manage to evade the same level of scrutiny afforded to a local community councillor?” - Naomi Smith www.patreon.com/ohgodwhatnow Presented by Jacob Jarvis with Marie Le Conte, Naomi Smith and Ros Taylor. Group Editor: Andrew Harrison. Producers: Chris Jones and Alex Rees. Audio production by Alex Rees. OH GOD, WHAT NOW? is a Podmasters production Learn more about your ad choices.
