Episode notes

Can Rishi Sunak lead the Conservatives to victory at the next elections?

The Tories have been the main governing party in the UK since 2010, but recent polls show the tide might be turning in favour of Labour and its leader Sir Keir Starmer come 2025.

Host Andy Bell talks to Lord Robert Hayward, polling analyst and lifelong observer of the Conservative party, to find out whether the Prime Minister can not only be confident of staying party leader, but even start mapping a path to winning the next election.
