Summary

What will be the consequences of the Conservatives' surprise loss of a by-election? Perhaps there will be none...but I argue that the Lib Dems' victory challenges Boris Johnson's main source of political strength-the perception that he's a winner....plus brilliant questions and bread recipes. Rock N Roll Politics is live in the main hall of Kings Place on Monday June 28th...and streamed live.

the future of bakeries around the country. So a bit of that and much, much more besides. So a lot
