Election Bonus: The Shakespearean Tragedy of Rishi Sunak – with guest Steve Richards

Politics podcast presenter Steve Richards talks to Jacob Jarvis about the Shakespearean downfall of Rishi Sunak, the gilded youth who finds he’s not up to this titanic task. Plus: Is appearing as brutal as the Conservatives the right strategy for Labour? The weakness of Starmer’s language. And the patronising futility of TV debates.  • “Sunak has tried on so many guises, he doesn’t know who he is now.”  • “In Grimsby Sunak just looked crushed… It must be tormenting him that he’s leading his party towards doom.”  • “When we see people as losers, everything we see of them reinforces that.” Support us on Patreon to get early access to all our live tickets plus mugs, t-shirts and more.  Presented by Jacob Jarvis.
