James Sunderland, former Colonel in the Royal Logistics Corps, joins Christopher Hope in the Red Lion to talk about why the MP for Bracknell thinks the government needs to stop relying on the armed forces to step in over strike action and suggests that "Mr Lynch and his cronies" should perhaps try earning what soldiers earn. Strong words. Also on the podcast, UK Director of think-tank More in Common, Luke Tryl, says that if political marmite figure Nigel Farage returned it could turbocharge Reform's support, with the party posing a threat to both major parties but only with a charismatic figure-head. Plus MP for Chipping Barnet and Tory housing rebel Theresa Villiers assures Chris she isn't a NIMBY.
