Where do the Tories go from here? with former Cabinet Minister Simon Clarke

from Politics Inside Out

Former Tory Cabinet Minister, now director of Tory think tank Onward, Simon Clarke gives his thoughts on why Tory MPs are defecting to Reform and which Tory defection has most surprised him. He says the Tories are making good progress and criticises those who say there should be a pre election pact with Reform. And as dad to a 6 week old baby he says he explains why he would be ‘a terrible father’ if he was still in the House of Commons.--This episode is sponsored by Woburn Partners, the strategic communications agency.
