Description
Inspired by the UK’s most famous voter, Brenda from Bristol, four close watchers of politics agree - and freely disagree - about the twists and turns of the General Election 2024 - and beyond.
With Steve Richards, broadcaster and author, Tim Montgomerie, founder of Conservative Home and a serial political entrepreneur, Iain Martin, Times columnist and Miranda Green of the Financial Times. We hope you agree with us, rather than with Brenda, that it’s a useful addition to the debate.

Mildly amused at the vitriol from the media classes at the VAT on private schools In a profession so dominated be private school alumni I'm not surprised though Private schools are primarily means of allowing the rich to buy their children privelage and hoard opportunity
Well you must be watching a different campaign than I am. It is in fact the Trump campaign that is imploding. Women have massively turned against him, people or booing him and leaving his rallies. Look at the Senate races and House races which show the Democrats doing v well. Are you suggesting they are going to vote Trump in the Presidential election and Democrat races? I find it absurd!
Unsubscribed after ridiculous comments about Twitter being "so useful" despite it being overrun with white supremacists and an owner who encourages civil war in UK and Europe. I can't listen to podcasts through clenched teeth
