This week, Beth gets Ruth and Jess’s take on what’s happening now that Diane Abbott has had the Labour whip restored. The WhatsApps from Beth’s sources keep coming as they’re recording.
They discuss the strategies behind the Sunak and Starmer campaigns – with one going for headline-grabbing pledges and the other spending the first week focusing on the personal rather than policy.
There’s news from Jess on her plans for the campaign – and she met a dog named after Ted Heath when she was out door-knocking, so that takes us in only one direction.
