The Fourcast

Can Sunak's manifesto stop Farage taking over Tory Party?

Rishi Sunak has unveiled his manifesto, promising billions in tax cuts and lower immigration - but after his D-Day disaster and Nigel Farage back in the game, is it enough to shift the dial in the election or even enough to stop the right-wing of his own party turning on him before polling day?

And with Reform creeping up in the polls, can Farage’s party really overtake the Tories to become the opposition? And what would happen then?

Joining Krishnan Guru-Murthy to discuss this on this episode of The Political Fourcast are Conservative peer Jo Johnson, who helped write the winning Tory manifesto in 2015, Harriet Harman, former Labour Leader and Deputy Leader, and Reform UK’s Deputy Leader David Bull.

Produced by Silvia Maresca, Calum Fraser, Rob Thomson, Nick Jackson.
