26:48Now PlayingRishi Sunak recently boasted to Conservative members of taking money from “deprived urban areas” to help wealthy towns, which has reinforced perceptions that the former Chancellor is "out of touch."
Rishi Sunak and Liz Truss have "missed a trick" by not going hard on levelling up, a key aspect of Boris Johnson's success in the "red wall."
As a predicted economic crisis looms, Rachel Cunliffe, Freddie Hayward and Ben Walker discuss the Tory leadership contest to replace Boris Johnson, how Rishi Sunak and Liz Truss are focussing on personal attacks and appealing to the Tory party membership instead of the public and Keir Starmer’s notable absence from the limelight.
Then, in You Ask Us, a listener asks whether the winner of the leadership contest, whether Sunak or Truss, will pivot and come out with some meaningful policies on the cost of living – or are they just running scared and hoping for a miracle?
