Description

Calum and Kirsty discuss political pledges, promises and changes-of-heart. How high is your trust in politics? Nigel Farage says Brexit has failed, despite being the main cheerleader for it; Oliver Dowden says Keir Starmer has backtracked on 30 promises; the Conservatives are failing to deliver on pledges set out by Rishi Sunak, with an indication that the next missed target will be on net migration. So, should political parties still be promising things in manifestoes? Kirsty brings expertise; Calum dives into the Salisbury Convention. Nerdery at its finest.
