The Afterlife of the Party — Start Your Week with Gavin Esler and Alex Andreou

How do you solve a problem like Boris Johnson? Sunak needs to escape the shadow of his predecessor but reciting his 5 goals doesn’t seem to be cutting it. Could a potential mortgage bailout be enough to get the general public back onside? Plus we’ve got the reaction to that Party Gate video, the latest on Ukraine's counter offensive, and Labour's resurgence in Scotland. Gavin Esler joins Alex Andreou to map out the week ahead.

• “If Sunak doesn’rt get a grip he will be the 4th conservative leader destroyed by Johnson.” – Gavin Esler
• “Boris Johnson was never popular, he was just more popular than Corbyn.” – Gavin Esler
• “The threat of having an election is enough to keep the backbench in line.” – Gavin Esler
