Episode notes

Stephen Crabb, a Conservative former cabinet minister joins PoliticsHome's Alain Tolhurst, Eleanor Langford and Adam Payne to discuss the UK’s third PM this year. Crabb believes “the right outcome has been achieved” with Sunak's appointment and was relieved when Boris Johnson ruled himself out of the leadership race, after telling the former Prime Minister that “the Conservative Party is not going to wear it” if he returned to No.10 after months of scandal. But the chaos of Liz Truss has left Sunak and the Tories with "a political mountain to climb” as he seeks to unify his party at its most fractious.

Presented by Alain Tolhurst, produced by Nick Hilton for Podot, edited by Laura Silver.
