Midfield Politics

Where do we even start? 

Liz Truss is out, Boris Johnson might be back in, but Rishi Sunak and Penny Mordaunt are more likely to become 10 Downing Street's latest guest. 

Also: Jeremy Hunt's political resurgence, Michael Gove as Francis Underwood, and Sir Kier Starmer's plucky Labour Party.

It's been a long week. Enjoy the pod!

Before you listen to today's episode, we have two apologies for you.

Firstly, we're sorry for leaving such a big gap between uploads: we're terrible.

Secondly, we were beset with technical issues today, forcing us to record the podcast twice. Zak's audio isn't perfect, but it improves after the five minute mark (and is much better than the tape we've left on the cutting room floor!). 

Enjoy the episode: it's a perfect Midfield Politics mix of serious, silly, and sport. And politics, obviously.
