About this episode

The episode discusses political conspiracies, the evolution of political language, and potential political alliances in the UK.

Sally, Polly, Danny and Hugo discuss the conspiracies swirling around the theft of Morgan McSweeney's mobile phone. How did government work in the pre-smartphone era, when Tony Blair refused to use one? They also explore how political language is evolving (and whether it’s becoming dangerously loose), and imagine what’s more likely - a Lab-Lib coalition or a Tory-Reform alliance. Plus, the team settle a debate you didn't even know existed - chilled vs super-chilled. Send your questions, comments and voicenotes to howtowin@thetimes.co.uk Hosted on Acast.
