Description

This week's episode is a special one - we're joined by a new co-host, our new third person. Who is it? There's drama and suspense galore. Listen in to find out. Also this week: strikes and immigration. Nurses have walked out on strike. We discuss whether government strategy should differentiate between the different groups that are currently striking. On immigration, Kirsty and... our new co-host... decide this is no longer an issue of left and right, and while Rishi Sunak wants to be appear to be a strong Prime Minister, there's a lot to consider. Also this week, our new co-host tells us they didn't have time to grieve after an election loss; we discuss how to get on the front foot when you're constantly dealing with government crises, and we tease you about what to expect from the podcast over Christmas. We'd love for you to email us before then, even just to say the one word: hello. Email hello@whitehallsources.com so we can say hello to you too.
