The Lesley Riddoch Podcast

As yet another Tory Cabinet reshuffle took place we ask if Sunak is making the last throw of the electoral dice by ditching Braverman and bringing back Cameron?
Was he trying to entice back "the blue wall" while assuaging the red meat right with the recall of Esther McVey?
Massive pro peace demonstrations took place across the UK last weekend. This display of popular disgust at the Israeli destruction of Gaza and the ensuing loss of life seems to signal a shift, at least among the public, towards a ceasefire. However, despite this the Labour Party leadership seems wedded to the "humanitarian pause" narrative. The SNP have put forward a ceasefire amendment to the King's Speech. How will Labour respond?
We look at the attack on Humza Yousaf by Spectator journalist, author and commentator, Douglas Murray and take a closer look at who he is and his ideology.
Lesley spoke at the recent Revive Coalition conference, and she updates us on its plans for the future.

The Break Up of Britain conference takes place on Saturday the 18th of November
