Welcome to the Weekly Sceptic episode 89
This week, in a General Election special, Nick and Toby talk about:
- Why Rishi Sunak called a summer election, surprising everyone, including his Cabinet
- Whether a ‘Presidential’ election, with the focus on the Prime Minister rather than the Conservative Party’s record in government, is Rishi’s best hope of limiting the damage
- Why the Conservatives have rejected a ‘Devil Eyes’ election strategy and decided to emphasise Keir Starmer’s weak leadership instead
- Plus everyone’s favourite section, Peak Woke, and premium content on Based, which this week includes:
- Nigel Farage’s controversial exchange with Trevor Phillips about British Muslims and the BBC describing his Dover speech as ‘inflammatory’
- The relaunch of Loaded and whether it’s actually a bit feminist
- And the 70 year-old in a Suffolk village who chased some young hooligans down the street after they damaged her back gate (no pun intended)
