Selection headaches & tactical dilemmas

Matt Hancock has come home. Football might be coming home. But Rishi Sunak's problems on the home front are going nowhere. With the Conservative Party threatening rebellion on multiple fronts, what can the prime minister do to make progress on his legislative agenda? The IfG podcast team dissect the PM's parliamentary problems.

Sunak also has a ministerial headache to contend with, as accusations about ministerial behaviour - with Dominic Raab still making awkward headlines - find their way into the press. So does the civil service need a new complaints process?

Plus - Why is the civil service failing to recruit outside talent, and what does it mean if it lacks enough specialist skills?

Emma Norris presents.

With Alice Lilly, Alex Thomas, Cath Haddon and Jordan Urban.

Produced by Candice McKenzie
