With the Conservatives struggling to rebuild after years of electoral turmoil, Oscar Reddrop, former No.10 Adviser, joins us to ask whether the party can claw its way back — and whether there is still a future for the Tories as the right of British politics fragments.We look at Andy Burnham’s continued popularity, whether other parties can seriously challenge Labour, and whether the Conservatives and Reform could ever unite the right. We also examine claims that Burnham has borrowed policies from Keir Starmer’s previous survival plan, despite promising a “new path for Britain”.Giles Dilnot, Editor of ConservativeHome, joins the debate on the future of the Conservative Party, Burnham’s political appeal and what the Tories need to do to win back voters.And with Burnham reaffirming his commitment to reaching net zero by 2050, Ben Pile, Co-Founder of Climate Debate UK, examines the future of Britain’s net zero strategy and whether the economic and environmental case for the policy stands up.Conservatives, Tory Party, Reform UK, Andy Burnham, Keir Starmer, Labour, British politics, unite the right, net zero, climate policy, Conservative Party, UK politics.
