Tory leadership race: Why it’s been a good week for James Cleverly

Electoral Dysfunction

With the Tory leadership race down to the final four, Beth’s been at Conservative Party conference in Birmingham to watch the ‘beauty parade’ for herself, while Ruth and Harriet predict who will make it to the final two.

Back in Westminster, it looks like Sir Keir Starmer may have taken Harriet’s advice when he said he’d pay back £6,000 of gifts he’s received since getting into government, but Harriet thinks Labour need to go further to put this scandal to bed.

Plus, Beth has been investigating a question from a listener, about the best smelling politician, and she finally has an answer.
