The Beginning of the End – Weekly Edition

By Podmasters

Johnson has clung on to power, but with 148 Tory rebels voting against him how long can he continue as leader? What’s next for him and the Conservative Party? In a late-night recording, the panel assess a dramatic result. Plus, Romeo Kokriatski, co-host of the Ukraine Without Hype podcast, shares the latest from Ukraine amid concerns the war is turning in Russia’s favour. And, after the Jubilee festivities, the panel discusses British eccentricity and the future of the Monarchy. “It comes back to a fundamental personality problem about Boris Johnson.” – Marie Le Conte  “The booing came from what Johnson could have reasonably expected to be a home crowd.” – Justin Quirk  “The enormous elephant in the room is that a large part of your party has essentially tried to eviscerate you.” – Justin Quirk  “From the country’s point of view, Johnson staying on is disastrous.” – Justin Quirk  “If they keep promising this gigantic reshuffle, who is going to move in order to make space?” – Marie Le Conte “The bigger issue is that there is a total policy vacuum.” – Justin Quirk  “Things will have to change, the Monarchy will have to change.” – Ayesha Hazarika  “There’s a huge space now for Labour to just say very explicitly, ‘What is it that you actually like about this country?’” – Justin Quirk   https://www.patreon.com/bunkercast Presented by Andrew Harrison with Ayesha Hazarika, Marie Le Conte and Justin Quirk.
