Brazil: Lula Wellahead of Jerbal Sonaro

As the Truss micro-Government twists on a hook of its own making, we take a taxi to an anti-growth North London podcast studio to examine a week of Tory torment, conference catastrophes and 33% Labour leads. Are the Conservatives on the verge of an actual extinction event? Former Justice Secretary and Conservative exile David Gauke is our special guest. 

• “Can you imagine anyone, in any pub, going on about the Anti-Growth Coalition?” – Ian Dunt
• “It seems that Truss genuinely doesn’t think she even needs a democratic mandate to do what she does…” – Ros Taylor 
• “Her authority is extraordinarily low and she doesn’t have any political capital at all.” – David Gauke
• “Well done, the first thing you've done in your whole administration is tank the economy.” – Ian Dunt
