Oh God, What Now?

The Secret Civil War


Listen Later

A Whitehall bust up is underway with Sue Gray and Simon Case clashing over the former’s appointment as Keir Starmer’s chief of staff. Is this a witch hunt – or are there just questions? Plus, conflict in Sudan means the UK has organised a second rapid evacuation in two years. Has this one gone smoother than the last? And with the high profile departures of cable anchors Tucker Carlson and Don Lemon across the pond – we discuss our favourite TV hosts. 

  • “Opinion of Sue Gray is totally moveable. The thing about the modern Tory party is it is incapable of understanding people can be independent.” – Arthur Snell 
  • “I would maybe start looking at LinkedIn quietly if I were Simon Case.” – Marie Le Conte 
  • “The narrative that recasts history is that Sue Gray made Johnson resign. Sue Gray helped him to hold on to his job!” – Alex Andreou
