The Institute for Government’s renowned debates will take place online for the duration of the Corona Emergency. Our first podcast panel discusses the fascinating relationship between the two most most powerful politicians in the country, the PM and the Chancellor. What can make it work and what makes it break down? What might Boris Johnson’s and Rishi Sunak’s relationship mean for the effectiveness of this government? And are they equal to the enormity of the Coronavirus challenge?

Our panel includes:

Baroness Kate Fall, Senior Adviser at Brunswick and Former Adviser to David Cameron
Torsten Bell, Chief Executive at Resolution Foundation and former adviser to Alistair Darling
Robert Shrimsley, Chief Political Commentator at the Financial Times

Hosted by Alex Thomas, Programme Director at the Institute for Government. Audio production by Alex Rees at Podmasters.
