Behind the scenes of the Tory government’s fall from power - Part 1

Electoral Dysfunction

Former Conservative cabinet ministers Penny Mordaunt and Gillian Keegan join Beth, Ruth and Harriet in the studio to take us behind the scenes of the final days of the last government.

For their final podcasts of 2024, Beth and Ruth ask how the Conservatives fell from power and they get the inside track on Labour's election campaign from Harriet.

In Part 1, Penny and Gillian look back at the low mood in the party at the end of 2023, going into the election year.

What led Rishi Sunak to call the election early? And just how bad was it to have a front seat to the dysfunction?
