Calum and Kirsty are back to discuss the fall out of last week's three by-elections. Plus Nigel Farage brings down the CEO of NatWest in yet another influential victory. And Sir Keir Starmer discusses what a woman is: can this ever win votes, or is it an all out vote loser? With the Conservative Party's deep electoral troubles and a shift towards the right-wing faction, we'll discuss how Rishi Sunak's loss in the party leadership race to Liz Truss has ignited a change in strategy. We'll examine the focus on socially divisive issues and the impact it may have on the party's core vote, as well as the lessons to be learned from the controversial Ultra Low Emission Zone (ULEZ) and its potential influence on climate action becoming a wedge issue in future elections.

Thanks for your lovely emails for Kirsty as she goes through chemo. Please send messages to [email protected]
