Description

Rishi Sunak promised stability but here we are, back in a u-turn vortex. If he can’t stop the rot, what’s the point of the new PM? Does he have a political north star? And as Braverman’s shirks blame, we agree the asylum system is broken – just not in the way she thinks. What needs fixing? Plus, Matt Hancock joins the shameful list of reality TV politicians. Seriously? This week’s guest is Satbir Singh, managing director of openDemocracy. 


“If there's one thing we know about Sunak it is he very obviously panics quite quickly.” – Marie Le Conte

“Sunak will piss off several parts of the Parliamentary party no matter what he does.” – Marie Le Conte 

“As a country we’ve never been capable of having a sensible debate on asylum.” – Tom Peck 

“I feel physically sick hearing some of the things being said by ministers.” – Satbir Singh
