  • Tory leadership debate: who came out on top?

    Tory leadership debate: who came out on top?
    Oct 18 2024
    Robert Jenrick and Kemi Badenoch, the final two candidates for the Tory leadership, went up against each other on a special GB News show last night. Kemi came out swinging in defence of her ‘culture warrior’ tag, but many wanted some more meat on the bones when it comes to her stance on policy. Meanwhile, Jenrick clearly had a message to land – but will the membership see through his plea to ‘end the drama’? And did either of them manage to change any minds?

    Katy Balls speaks to Lucy Dunn and Giles Dilnot, editor of Conservative Home.

    Produced by Cindy Yu and Oscar Edmondson.

    Did Labour make its own Budget trap?
    Oct 17 2024
    A scoop from Bloomberg has revealed that a number of Cabinet ministers have written formally to the Prime Minister to complain about the budgetary decisions they are being asked to make in their respective departments. Rachel Reeves seems to have an impossible task ahead of the Budget – but was this a trap of Labour's own making? Oscar Edmondson talks to Katy Balls and Kate Andrews.

    Starmer denies being soft on China
    Oct 16 2024
    Starmer and Sunak debated Labour's position on China at today's PMQs, with Starmer denying going soft on the Asian superpower. Did Sunak draw inspiration from Katy Balls's cover article in last week's Spectator? Katy and Isabel Hardman speak to Oscar Edmondson about the party dynamics behind the debate; how much pressure is each party under from their own China hawks?

    Isabel also gives an overview of the debate around the Assisted Dying Bill, which was introduced to Parliament today.

    Produced by Patrick Gibbons and Oscar Edmondson.
