Summary

Podcast host Duncan Barkes and the TPA's Callum McGoldrick are joined by Conservative MP Esther McVey. They discuss the disturbing rise in sectarian politics that saw the Green Party achieve victory in the recent Gorton and Denton by-election. Esther outlines the thinking behind her Ten Minute Rule Bill in Parliament about clear labelling regarding slaughter for Kosher and Halal meat. She also talks about the fortunes of the Conservative Party and Reform UK.
