Michael Deacon and Poppy Coburn discuss the Conservative Party conference, Kemi Badenoch’s plans to take on Reform, inheritance tax and the Tories’ proposed prison-building programme. They also look at Suella Braverman’s unlikely new reality TV pairing with Katie Price, and reflect on the death of novelist and former politician Jeffrey Archer.
Plus, they debate the Green Party’s decision to define Zionism as racism, Putin’s alleged intimidation tactics in Finland, whether ties are making a comeback – and why mushy peas may need a more fashionable rebrand.
