Life in the Lords, Rachel Reeves' Strategy and Tory Leadership... with Ayesha Hazarika

Listen on

Episode notes

Baroness Hazarika - Ayesha Hazarika, former Labour adviser - joins Calum and Kirsty Buchanan, former Special Adviser to Theresa May, to discuss the politics and policy of the moment. We consider why far-right thugs were able to stage a mini riot in the aftermath of the stabbing attack in Southport in which three young girls died. We also reflect on Chancellor Rachel Reeves's announcement ending universal Winter Fuel Payments and preparing the country for tax rises. Plus, why the Tory leadership contest is going on too long.
