Can Rishi's manifesto save the Tories?

The Telegraph
About this episode

Can the Tories overtake Labour despite their pole position? Or have the Conservatives spun off into the gravel? Those and other tortuous F1 metaphors can all be heard as we’re live at Silverstone for the Conservative manifesto launch.


We hear the highlights of Rishi Sunak’s speech - plus reaction from Michael Gove and Victoria Atkins - and Camilla and Kamal analyse all of the big policy pledges.


Elsewhere, we ask whether Labour’s gone “nanny state” mad on health with their energy drink ban, and spouses on the campaign trail - help or hindrance?
