The Rest Is Politics

Watch AD FREE here: AD FREE | The Burnham & Badenoch Bounce: I...

With Reform bogged down in scandal, and Kemi Badenoch setting out her political vision at Conservative Party conference, have the Tories finally wrestled momentum on the right of British politics away from Farage? As the Lycée protests continue in France, how are Marine Le Pen and the Rassemblement National responding to the unrest? And why has Spain's left-wing leader Sánchez called a snap election over the country's rental crisis – and can he defy the odds and win a majority?

Join Alastair and former Secretary of State for Education and Editor of The Spectator Michael Gove as they answer all these questions and more.

Its telling that Gove is among the the most competent tories of the last 16 years - and yet is still responsible for making my life objectively worse.

Gove is the ultimate waffler. In Government he was absolutely terrible

As an American, it is nice to see people of opposing political parties able to have a constructive discussion while respecting each other's differences. We can't really do that anymore in my country.

Gove's soul is 100% bad faith.

I like Gove and how he talks, I just can't agree with him on very much.

This is the deference, between how people are looking at politics.

Really engaging episode. As ever with RIP, it's so refreshing to see political figures, from opposite sides of the political aisle, disagreeing agreeably.

Think I'll have to skip this one, can't stand Gove. Somehow continually failed upwards f'ing up various government departments for years.

This is a display of sophistry in Gove's support for Badenoch. He claims she is "clear in her own mind," when she is not. She holds a number of positions and ideas unshakeably, but that they are muddled and illl thought through is shown when they are exposed to scrutiny.

Can't stand Gove.

3:38 Rory isn’t here this week - over to Rory for a quick advertisement

This is an excellent episode. I always thought Gove was a dishcloth, but I really enjoyed both of their opposing views. I’m from the North East of England living in Tennessee and its a pleasure to see grown up politics,

Don’t agree with Gove on much, but I’ll always have a bit of a soft spot for him after he sewered Boris in 2016.

Excellent

I like MIchel Gove now who admits he was wrong. You need courage to do so. 😊

If you havent had a week off in 4 years you must be in danger of burnout? Balance is important in life. Be more like Rory!!

You encouraged these ‘pesky insurgents’, Michael Gove. You were instrumental in Brexit and so what happened since. I will always listen to reasoned points, but I won’t forget the self service that was done before at the expense of the nation.

Here's this hour in a sentence. Tory leader channels Thatcher while Labour PM does his best Harold Wilson, Britain waits to buy.

I'm surprised noone has mentioned the weird way Andrew Griffith's conference speech ended with him just walking off the stage.

23:43 “the last four decades”. He can’t escape the fact the Tories were a catastrophe, so he says four decades so it’s also Labour’s fault. However, the last four decades have been built on the back of one person’s idea of how to run the UK. Which is the joint Queen of the Conservative party and Hell, Margaret Thatcher.
