Adam, Chris, and Henry Zeffman were listening and give their immediate reaction.She announced a flurry of new policies, including abolishing stamp duty and introducing a fiscal “golden rule”. Did she manage to silence her critics? And is her job as party leader, at least for now, safe?

Just search ‘Quite right!' wherever you are listening now.This week, Michael and Maddie record Quite right! in front of a live audience at the Conservative Party conference in Manchester – with attendance down, the big question is whether Kemi Badenoch can survive as leader of the opposition. There is the unmistakable air of fatalism among MPs staring down electoral annihilation – but would another change in leadership cement the Tories as pathologically regicidal?They also debate Badenoch's bold pledge to bar candidates who won't back leaving the European Convention on Human Rights – a ‘calculated risk' that could redefine the party's identity or too little too late?Then, in the wake of the horrific Manchester synagogue attack, they turn to the rise of anti-Semitism and the crisis of policing. Are Britain's streets really being governed by ‘two-tier justice'? And what does it say about public order – and public confidence – that Jewish Britons are being told to stay indoors for their own safety?Finally, they dissect the Church of England's choice of Sarah Mullally as the new Archbishop of Canterbury. Is she an inspired appointment, or proof that the Church has become, as Michael puts it, ‘another bureaucratic manifestation of generalised niceness'?Produced by Oscar Edmondson Hosted on Acast.

The Prime Minister was set to announce his crackdown on the existing rights of refugees at the European Political Community meeting today; however, he has flown back to chair a Cobra meeting after a terror attack in Manchester. Two people have been killed and at least two others injured after a driver allegedly rammed a car into pedestrians outside a synagogue and attacked them with a knife. The suspect, who was shot by police, is also believed to be dead.Also on the podcast, Tim Shipman interviews Kemi Badenoch for the magazine this week. As she enters conference season with the Tories running third in the polls behind Reform and Labour, she tells Tim that she is up for a fight. On Friday, her shadow cabinet will agree a policy of leaving the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR) but her first conference announcement – revealed exclusively to Tim – will be scrapping the Climate Change Act.

Kemi Badenoch answers your questions on Reform UK defections, Tommy Robinson, Mandelson and more!Iain Dale is joined for Cross Question by Labour Party chair Anna Turley, broadcaster Sir Trevor Phillips, billionaire businessman and philanthropist John Caudwell and Conservative shadow development minister Wendy Morton.
Perhaps the most powerful question you can ask yourself is - what do I need?There is no-one better equipped to help us answer that question than Kemi Nekvapil.Kemi is, quite simply, a force of nature.A pioneer in the raw food movement in Australia, Kemi is now an accredited executive and personal coach.She's committed to helping women like you and I change how we feel about ourselves and how we express ourselves, so we can set boundaries and pursue what we want from life, without guilt or apology.She's also a powerful speaker as those who attended Sparta Chicks Unleashed 2018 will attest.Plus she's a trail and ultra marathon runner. Kemi has completed 11 x marathon distances races, plus a 100km race, the Surf Coast Century, in 2016. So she ‘gets' us!Kemi was my ‘secret weapon' during 2018. She was my coach for 6 months throughout the year and I can hand-on-heart say Sparta Chicks Unleashed would not have happened if not for her support.In this conversation we discuss:- what an underwear shopping trip at 13 with her fifth set of foster parents taught her a powerful lesson about choice,- how she was able to reach a point of having ‘presence' and unshakeable confidence,- the powerful realisation that led her into executive and personal coaching,- how she discovered running and what trail running gives her,- whether our difficulties with asking for help is the reason so many women (myself included) arrive in our 30s and 40s and realise we've lost a bit of ourselves and we don't know who we are or what we like anymore,- how setting boundaries and asking for what you need in a clean and clear way empowers other people to do the same,- what Kemi would like you to do in 2019 in order to thrive (and also why you're also allowed to pivot once you've decided).

Lord Mandelson has admitted there may be more embarrassing emails and correspondence between himself and the notorious paedophile Jeffrey Epstein. The US ambassador was speaking to The Sun the day after a birthday message emerged calling Epstein his “best pal“, and just as the Telegraph revealed details of a business deal that Mandelson worked on with Epstein AFTER he had been convicted. Keir Starmer has stood by his ambassador but failed to answer Kemi's PMQs question - did he know about these dealings when he originally signed off the job? Can Mandelson stay in his role? And why is Starmer determined to defend him.The News Agents is brought to you by HSBC UK - https://www.hsbc.co.uk/EXCLUSIVE NordVPN Deal -> https://nordvpn.com/thenewsagents Try it risk-free now with a 30-day money-back guarantee

Kemi Badenoch is the Leader of the Conservative Party and the current Leader of the Opposition, a job often described as the toughest in British politics. And in this interview with Gyles, Kemi talks about her upbringing and how it gave her the toughness she needs to survive in the ruthless environment of Westminster. Born in a hospital in Wimbledon in 1980, but brought up and educated mainly in Lagos, Nigeria, Kemi's story is one of contrasts: her family were middle class and affluent, but eventually they lost their money and Kemi was sent to the UK at 16. There she got a job in McDonalds and studied hard at school, working part-time to support herself. Kemi also tells Gyles about her miserable time at federal boarding school in Nigeria, she talks about her favourite foods, her dreams, her grandparents and a moment of joy she remembers from her childhood. This is a chance to get behind the politics to the origin story of one of the UK's most prominent and successful politicians. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

She was the Tory saviour. Now, by November, she could be gone.Where did it all go wrong for Kemi Badenoch?--For this week's New Statesman magazine, Will Lloyd has written a powerful and revealing profile of the Nigerian immigrant who rose to lead the Conservative Party. Will joins Tom McTague to discuss what he discovered in the course of his reporting, including why Conservative grandees first celebrated, then turned against, Kemi Badenoch. They explore whether racism plays a role in the way Badenoch has been treated, and whether the woman who some cast as a new Thatcher was ever as able as the Conservatives wanted to believe.--Read Will Lloyd's profile of Kemi Badenoch in the New Statesman magazine, or online: Kemi Badenoch isn't workingListen next: How to defeat reform - exclusive polling with analyst Steve Akehurst Hosted on Acast.

He is just the latest in a growing number of disaffected Tories turning to Nigel Farage's party.Former Conservative chairman Sir Jake Berry tells The Daily T why, after 25 years of Conservative Party membership and 14 years as the Tory MP for Rossendale and Darwen, he has decided to join Reform.As well as acknowledging his role as a senior Tory in the failure of “broken Britain”, Berry attacks the Labour Government, accusing Starmer of gross incompetence: “the Conservative Party failed to sort it out over 14 years. I think the Labour party's done a worse job in 14 months.” Berry also explains why it took him losing his seat to realise that Nigel Farage is the only man who can fix Britain and why Kemi Badenoch is “toast”.The former MP also tells all on migration, taxation, spending and why he has changed his tune on net zero.Producers: Lilian Fawcett and Georgia CoanSenior Producer: John CadiganPlanning Editor: Venetia RaineyVideo Editor: Will WaltersExecutive Producer: Charlotte SeligmanEditor: Camilla TomineyStudio Operator: Meghan SearleProduction assistance from James Keegan Hosted on Acast.

It's bad news all round for Labour and the Tories. An MRP poll out today forecasts that if an election were held tomorrow, Labour would not only lose its majority, but fall behind Reform to become the second-largest party. The Conservatives would be reduced to a mere 46 seats, placing them fourth behind the Lib Dems.But that's just the beginning of their collective woes. On the Labour side – despite Keir Starmer's charm offensive and ongoing talks with Labour MPs about potential changes to welfare policy – the number of rebels appears to be growing. The feeling increasingly is that someone might have to go, and calls for ‘regime change' splash the Times. Is time up for Morgan McSweeney?On the other side of the House, the Tories are in disarray, as Tim Shipman reports in The Spectator this week.
