Summary

There’s concrete evidence the Tories have messed up again – literally. School roofs are crumbling, but the Government is bragging at least most are fine… Plus, the PM says he cares about Net Zero, but does he really? And in the extra bit for subscribers, hot mic moments can reveal more than a whole interview. But are they ethical? That’s Oh God, What Now? With very special guest, Labour MP for Brent North, Barry Gardiner. “It’s a perfect physical manifestation of 13 years of the Tories being in charge, in every conceivable way.” – Alex Andreou “This is Sunak’s f*ck up as much as anyone else’s.” – Alex Andreou “Every time it’s this generation of kids that have faced up to the problems created by this government.” – Barry Gardiner “We will only borrow to invest, we will not borrow to consume.” – Barry Gardiner “Why are the poorest people in our society having to subsidise those energy companies? It is simply wrong!” – Barry Gardiner We’re on YouTube!: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCVOIkIWUDtu7VrVcFs0OI0A  www.patreon.com/ohgodwhatnow Presented by Dorian Lynskey with Alex Andreou and Hannah Fearn.

Sunack and Gillian Keegan try to dodge the blame and insist that most schools are not

in danger of falling down. Plus, Sunack has put Ally Claire Cattino in charge of the energy

and net zero brief. We'll ask Labour MP and a net zero champion Barry Gardner what he'll

be keeping an eye on. Then, in the extra bit for Patreon backers, we discuss hot mic moments

after Gillian Keegan's accidental honesty. Is it always ethical to share them with the public
