Have the Tories found their next Brexit?

58 minutes

The Tories have been way behind in the polls for a long time. But could a comeback be on the cards? The data shows that a Labour government isn’t guaranteed after 2024’s general election. What does Keir Starmer need to do? And has Sunak found the next Brexit in the European Court on Human Rights. Not many people fully understand what it is, but perhaps that plays into the Tory’s hands. Could they take us out? And in the extra bit for subscribers, our panel recounts the worst paid jobs they’ve ever had. That’s Oh God, What Now? with special guest, chair of human rights charity EachOtherm Adam Wagner.

“I think a lot of people know that a new Labour government wouldn’t be a magic bullet to solve the cost of living crisis.” – Zoë Grünewald.

“When you talk about reform over spending it’s just not as sexy, so selling that will be a big challenge for Labour.” – Zoë Grünewald.

“Sometimes they’ll say the idea of human rights is completely unBritish and unnecessary.” – Adam Wagner.

“What underlies this all is that it’s not all about sovereignty, it’s also about the fundamental ideas of these rights … protecting refugees.” – Adam Wagner.
