In this week’s Political Frenemies, Lib Dem activist Mathew Hulbert and former Tory adviser Chris Newton are joined by Scottish Lib Dem Social Security Spokesperson and Lib Dem Voice editor Caron Lindsay for a sharp, witty, and surprisingly good-natured clash of perspectives. The trio unpack the drama of the Tory Party Conference — including Kemi Badenoch’s headline-grabbing speech — debate where the Liberal Democrats should go next, and ask whether the Greens’ surge in membership signals a shifting political landscape. They also delve into the fallout from the collapse of the China spy case and what it means for Keir Starmer’s Labour government. Expect lively disagreement, unexpected common ground, and plenty of political insight.
