Electoral Dysfunction

Behind the scenes of the Tory government’s fall from power - Part 2

Listen on

Episode notes

Former Conservative cabinet ministers Penny Mordaunt and Gillian Keegan join Beth, Ruth and Harriet in the studio to take us behind the scenes of the final days of the last government. 
 
For their final podcasts of 2024, Beth and Ruth ask how the Conservatives fell from power and they get the inside track on Labour’s election campaign from Harriet. 
 
In Part 2, we go inside the Cabinet Room in No 10 Downing Street and we find out what the King was up to on the day the election was called. 
 
Also – how do you deal with an election campaign full of gaffes? And what happens when you lose your parliamentary seat?
