About this episode
It's chaos out there, chaos!! Labour lick their Burnham wounds, Braverman defects from the Tories to the 'other' Tories, and a new centre-right movement packed with old-school Conservatives makes its debut.
Naomi Smith, Alex Andreou and Kenny Campbell try to make sense of it all while staying chipper... no small feat.
And they're joined by Arthur Snell – QR favourite and host of our sister podcast, Behind the Lines – to look at the latest global chaos. With Starmer in China, Iran in a spot of bother and America in a dystopian nightmare, there is a LOT to discuss on the global stage.
