Summary

The pre-election Conservative Party conference manages to be both noisy and subdued. The autumnal gloom has set in, there's a pervasive sense that defeat looms and that sense makes defeat more likely. It is true that Sunak inherited a nightmare, but why has he failed to rise to the challenge? All this from Steve Richards, plus more brilliant questions and notices for the Rock N Roll Politics co-operative.

0:00.0	The
0:07.0	The Hello and welcome to rock and roll politics, the podcast with me Steve Richards. Thanks so much for tuning in. And as as you can imagine I will be reflecting shortly
0:40.7	with your guidance because I've got some brilliant emails relating to it what the Conservative
0:46.8	Party conference tells us about the Conservative Party the governing party this party
0:53.4	that tends to rule from Westminster and has had
