Ineptitude masking as progress

This episode was recorded before the resignation of Immigration Minister Robert Jenrick.


The lettuce has returned, could PM Rishi Sunak be heading for a similar demise as his predecessor Liz Truss? And would the Conservative party be mad enough to change leader AGAIN before the next general election? Both your co-pilots place their bets.


Meanwhile the Tory Cabinet has snapped into action to reduce the immigration figures following last week’s shock figures. Allison thinks it could be a little too late and that it is simply ineptitude masquerading as progress.


Liam fears that a leadership change might make the Tories look like they’ve ‘lost the plot’ before the next general election.


Also joining your co-pilots in the cockpit this week is Professor Michael Kelly from the University of Cambridge who tells our co-pilots exactly why renewable green energy cannot solve the energy crisis and how we must look at taking a different approach.


And what do the co-pilots make of ex PM Boris Johnson’s take to the stand at the ongoing Covid Inquiry?
