BBC Radio 4 - The Today Podcast, Sunk! Is Sunak’s Tory Party over?

Amol and Nick discuss Sunak’s woes as Today gets the only interview with Suella Braverman.

Prime Minister Rishi Sunak is trying to shore up his leadership as former PM Boris Johnson tries to secure his legacy.

It’s been a bruising 24 hours for Rishi Sunak including a ministerial resignation, emergency prime ministerial press conference and a former home secretary now firmly on manoeuvres. 

Amol and Nick discuss the Today programme’s exclusive interview with that former home secretary, Suella Braverman, and analyse how much trouble Sunak is now in. Will there be a leadership challenge?

As he’s shoring up his leadership the former prime minister Boris Johnson is trying to secure his legacy at the Covid Inquiry. What will history’s verdict on him be?  Sir Simon Schama provides his perspective on how Johnson’s time in No10 will be remembered, long into the future.
