Kirsty and Frankie assess the state of Rishi Sunak and Keir Starmer's "political capital." Where does it come from, where's it going? Will the Prime Minister have any left by the time the Nadhim Zahawi furore is cleared up? Kirsty tells us about her time working with Theresa May in Number 10 when Damian Green had to be fired as first secretary of state and the challenge that was at the time. Frankie assesses where the Labour leader can build his political capital - including by running an MOT of Labour party politicians ahead of the next election. Plus, as the PM and the Cabinet head to Chequers for a lovely away day, Kirsty and Frankie bless us with their away day stories including marshmallows and spaghetti landmarks. And a team bonding session that resulted in the end of someone's employment. Literally. Join our mailing list here: whitehallsources.com/mailinglist
