Show 290 - *Grant Shapps Live*

When the Prime Minister could fall at any point, talk to someone who knows what should happen next. 

Grant Shapps is that someone and has a very clear view on how the next Conservative leader should be chosen. He's a crucial power player and will be instrumental in any future leadership contest. Grant also has some brilliant stories about serving in Boris Johnson's Cabinet, what it was like doing the Covid TV briefings and how Liz Truss sacked him. As well as being a passionate advocate of centre-right pragmatism, he's also an optimist... despite some hellish life experiences that could easily have destroyed his positivity.

This is an impeccably timed interview with a fascinating politician at the centre of what happens next.
