Summary

Setting up the stories of the week ahead. Today: Rishi Sunak says he’s “on the side of motorists”. How did a sliver of a vote in the Uxbridge by-election cause a massacre of green policies? Talking of pollution, Nigel Farage’s war on banks continues. Will his hard-done-by routine rehabilitate his political career? Plus the military coup in Niger, the Ukraine war comes to Moscow, and the latest from Israel’s democracy protests. Andrew Harrison is joined by Gavin Esler to give you the low-down on the week ahead in politics. “Why don’t Labour just stick to the plan, lads?” – Gavin Esler “There was resistance to the building of sewers, but the Great Stink of 1858 put an end to that.” – Gavin Esler “People have a bizarre, visceral attachment to their cars.” – Andrew Harrison Support us on Patreon: www.patreon.com/bunkercast Presented by Andrew Harrison and Gavin Esler.
