Planet Normal: Can Sunak stop the perma-crisis? | Podcast

Telegraph, 27 Oct 2022
Another week on the rocket, and another Prime Minister on Planet Earth. But what does the future hold for ‘dishy Rishi’ as he moves into No10? Our co-pilots have their crystal ball out.

Both our co-pilots think the new PM made a strong debut at his first PMQ’s. But Allison wonders how the new PM will fare when faced with conquering the red wall.

Liam is also concerned that the Tories could be giving Labour an ‘open goal’ with such an economically flush PM and Chancellor at the helm in the midst of a raging financial crisis.

Also stowing away on the rocket of sweet reason this week is Planet Normal listener and lifelong Conservative voter, Alison, who tells our co-pilots why she hopes her fellow Tories get behind new PM Rishi Sunak, and why she'd urge him to target younger voters.

And finally the rocket’s newly qualified economist, co-pilot Pearson has an inflation update for listeners.
