Rishi Sunak Puts Out Cigarettes


Listen Later

As the dust settles after Rishi Sunak’s conference speech, Adam and Chris focus on the fallout from the biggest talking points, including the prime minister’s plans to ban smoking for younger generations.

They’re joined by doctor and TV presenter Alexander "Dr Xand" van Tulleken to hear the medical profession’s reaction and whether it’s true that there’s no safe level of smoking.

And to help analyse the wider political context of the speech, we’re joined in the studio by former special adviser Anita Boateng and broadcaster and author Matt Chorley who give us their own reflections of being at party conferences.
