Calum Macdonald hosts; Kirsty Buchanan, who used to advise Theresa May as PM, is joined by Frankie Leach who was an adviser to Jeremy Corbyn when he was Labour Leader of the Opposition.

This week, in our first charm offensive, Calum Macdonald, Kirsty Buchanan and Oscar Reddrop discuss a horrifying 1922 Committee meeting for Prime Minister Liz Truss which - it seems - is indicative of the turning of the parliamentary Conservative party - which Kirsty describes as Liz Truss's "most immediate threat." Also, we stretch a car metaphor to its limit as we discuss U-turns. Why is communication strategy so bad that no-one knows what growth means, and no-one can think of a good name for economic announcements? Kirsty and Oscar give us unique i...
