Episode notes
• OGWN Live in Hove, Weds 9 Oct. Tickets here.
After the Tory leadership hopefuls made their pitches to the party conference, we unpack whether they offered anything new, interesting or remotely sane. We talk it all over with Tim Bale, professor of politics at Queen Mary University of London, and author of The Conservative Party After Brexit: Turmoil and Transformation. Plus, Starmer’s been to Brussels – is he drawing the UK back towards the EU? And in the Extra Bit for subscribers, with conference season over, what’s the best kind of political merch the panel has ever seen?
