  • Summary

  • Comedy writer Armando Iannucci and journalist Helen Lewis decode the utterly baffling world of political language.

    This week, as the Democrats lick their wounds, and Kemi Badenoch looks to rebuild her party, we are talking about politicians in 'listening mode'.

    Who are they listening to? Why weren't they listening sooner? Is it a tick box exercise, or do they make meaningful changes based off their listening?

    They also look at Wes Streeting's big public consultation on the NHS, and Elon's plans to 'crowdsource' policy from the US population.

    Listen to Strong Message Here every Thursday at 9.45am on Radio 4 and then head straight to BBC Sounds for an extended episode.
