## Resource

With Parliament returning next week, the Conservatives are in a much stronger position than they were this time last year. That said, questions remain – not least when it comes to Kemi Badenoch’s top team. A reshuffle is apparently scheduled and, while it won’t be a total overhaul, there could be a few surprises. James Heale and Lord Goodman join Oscar Edmondson to discuss Badenoch’s improving position, why a Tory–Reform pact now looks increasingly unlikely, and who could be in line for promotion. Plus: could Penny Mordaunt be blocked from standing again – and does the Tory party have a growing talent problem? Produced by Oscar Edmondson.
