Planet Normal

Lord Frost and Lionel Shriver on Braverman, budgets and Brexit


Listen Later

The beloved rocket gains a few extra passengers this week as our second Planet Normal live event is broadcast from the IET in London.


Allison has been gone for a mere two weeks and the country has descended into what she calls a ‘post apocalyptic mad max wasteland’. Can things come back from the brink or will co-pilot Halligan have to step in as the next Chancellor? Anything could happen!


In the wake of Suella Braverman’s departure as Home Secretary, our co-pilots reflect on the circumstances surrounding her resignation, and delve into Chancellor Jeremy Hunt’s early days in his new post.


The first revered stowaway on the rocket this week is Lord David Frost, who shares his opinion on the current fractions in our country’s leading party, and warns that the government risks losing Brexit if it can't show it's up to the job. 


Also strapping in for lift-off is writer Lionel Shriver, who shares her frustration at how hard left views are maintaining what she believes are worryingly high levels of control over our society.


And the Planet Normal citizens have their say as our co-pilots take questions from the live audience.


We'd like to ask you a few questions about the ads in this podcast. Please click here to take a quick survey.
