74- Traitors, Prisoners and broken promises

from OppositionCast

This week, as the Conservatives put out a Traitors-themed video calling for Rachel Reeves to resign if she puts up taxes, Nigel and Sarah discuss what lessons the TV show has for our politics. We also look back to 1967, when the Labour Chancellor James Callaghan resigned after breaking a promise not to devalue the pound. We also review David Lammy's performance standing in for Keir Starmer at Prime Minister's Questions, and consider the experience of previous ministers who have had trouble with prisoners escaping when they shouldn't. Presented by Nigel Fletcher and Sarah Southern Produced by the Centre for Opposition Studies Theme Music by Tom Hector
