Summary
Sally, Polly, Danny and Hugo discuss the conspiracies swirling around the theft of Morgan McSweeney's mobile phone. How did government work in the pre-smartphone era, when Tony Blair refused to use one? They also explore how political language is evolving (and whether it’s becoming dangerously loose), and imagine what’s more likely - a Lab-Lib coalition or a Tory-Reform alliance. Plus, the team settle a debate you didn't even know existed - chilled vs super-chilled. Send your questions, comments and voicenotes to [email protected] Hosted on Acast.
