PurgaTory – with guest David Gauke

As the Truss micro-Government twists on a hook of its own making, we take a taxi to an anti-growth North London podcast studio to examine a week of Tory torment, conference catastrophes and 33% Labour leads. Are the Conservatives on the verge of an actual extinction event? Former Justice Secretary and Conservative exile David Gauke is our special guest.  “Can you imagine anyone, in any pub, going on about the Anti-Growth Coalition?” – Ian Dunt “It seems that Truss genuinely doesn’t think she even needs a democratic mandate to do what she does…” – Ros Taylor  “Her authority is extraordinarily low and she doesn’t have any political capital at all.” – David Gauke “Well done, the first thing you've done in your whole administration is tank the economy.” – Ian Dunt  Written and presented by Dorian Lynskey with Ros Taylor and Ian Dunt. Producers: Jacob Archbold and Jelena Sofronijevic. Assistant producer Kasia Tomasiewicz. Audio production: Robin Leeburn. Theme music by Cornershop. Lead Producer: Jacob Jarvis.
