  • Show 365. David Duguid
    Nov 25 2024

    This is inspirational.

    David was the Conservative MP for Banff and Buchan for 7 years.

    Then he suffered a spinal stroke. Incredibly he wasn't allowed to defend his seat in the general election.

    This is the remarkable story of how he recovered, why he was blocked and how he's remained so positive.

  • Show 364. Salma Shah *State of the Tories Special*
    Nov 18 2024

    Salma Shah is back!

    The Tory strategist gives her entertaining assessment of Kemi Badenoch and how the Tories are doing.

    This is such a great chat in which I have my centre-left prejudices thoroughly checked.

    Talking about the Opposition has never been more fun.
