Coffee House Shots Live: Zia Yusuf and Jacob Rees-Mogg

from Best of the Spectator

The post-mortem has begun on a historic set of local elections – but where does each party go from here? Is Reform unstoppable? Is Kemi the one to lead the Conservative rebuild? Do Labour really ‘get it’? Michael Gove, James Heale and Lucy Dunn are joined by special guests Zia Yusuf and Jacob Rees-Mogg to unpack these questions – as well as the broader ramifications of the local elections on British politics.Listen for: Zia’s understanding of why Reform did so well; Jacob’s concession that a Tory/Reform pact of some description could be the only way for the Conservatives to avoid extinction; and Michael’s assessment of whether Labour will force us closer to the EU.This podcast was originally recorded live at the Emmanuel Centre in Westminster on Wednesday 7 May. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
