Summary
To submit your urgent questions to Michael and Maddie, visit spectator.com/quiteright. In this week’s Q&A: do the Conservatives need an even bigger kicking? After their worst defeat in generations, they debate whether the party has really changed – or whether voters still see a gap between what it says and what it does. Also this week: what does Keir Starmer actually mean by acting in the ‘national interest’? As the conflict with Iran escalates, they unpack whether the Prime Minister’s language reflects a clear strategy – or political positioning. And finally: who are the best-read politicians – and which books should anyone in power be reading? Produced by Oscar Edmondson.
