The Tories' Disappointment With Democracy

Battle lines were drawn this week as the Conservatives held two conferences – whose side are you on? In the blue corner Suella Braverman and a whole host of unsavoury fringe figures from the National Conservatism Movement. In the other blue corner it’s the Conservative Democratic Organisation aka the ‘bring back Boris brigade’ led by Nadine Dorries. Plus the Turkish election – is Erdogan’s time up? And yes, we’ll be talking about Eurovision. Alex Andreou joins Ros Taylor to explore the week ahead.

• “Boris wasn’t there which isn’t unusual as it wasn’t a paid gig.” – Alex Andreou 
• “We’ve gone ‘high skill high wage’ economy to a ‘let’s all pick some apples’ economy’” – Alex Andreou 
• “Unhappiness following the local council elections was subsided by the Coronation but now it's back with a vengeance.”– Alex Andreou
