Rats in a Sack: The Tory civil war is a go

The Tories are at each other’s throats…again. Both Suella Braverman and Priti Patel took a pop at the party’s leadership at recent conservative conferences. Could Sunak survive a looming Tory revolt? And the state pension age may rise to 68, would you return to work if it meant a shot at rebuilding the country? Plus, the panel discusses their favourite accents and why we judge them so much.

• “The point here about the Conservatives is that they’re finished.” – Tom Peck.
• “I think it’s a deepening and a radicalisation of the rump that is left of Conservative support in the UK.” – Naomi Smith
• “I am totally expecting to have to find work when I’m 70, unfortunately.” – Hannah Fearn
• “I don’t think people are going to go back to their job to rebuild the country, because people just aren’t like that.” – Tom Peck
