Summary

Metaphor time! Rishi Sunak strains over a painful Budget while Conservative MPs are hammered for voting to allow raw sewage to be released into the sea. What’s coming in the Budget and will Johnson’s aversion to bad news push Plan B back – meaning that, yet again, the Government acts too late on a rising COVID wave? Alex Andreou starts your week.  “Imagine if raw sewage became the defining issue of your government…”  “Boris Johnson has become invisible, which indicates the Budget will not be a good one.” “This Budget includes straight-up bribe pots for Conservative Party donors.” “Sunak, Truss, and Barclay’s constituencies have all done very well from the Levelling Up Fund.” Presented and produced by Andrew Harrison. Assistant producers Jacob Archbold and Jelena Sofronijevic. Music by Kenny Dickinson. Audio production by Alex Rees. THE BUNKER is a Podmasters Production Learn more about your ad choices.
