Talk Breakfast

Show Notes

Kemi Badenoch, the leader of the Conservative Party, was pressed about whether she would consider collaborating with Reform UK if it came down to it. Her answer was an emphatic no chance. Some say she is painting herself into a corner, whilst others think the water is too muddy between the two parties for reconciliation and coalition. Talk presenter Jeremy Kyle speaks to: Shadow chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster Alex Burghart, deputy leader of Reform UK Richard Tice, Talk's international editor Isabel Oakeshott, former Conservative special adviser Charlie Rowley, commentator at the Mail on Sunday Dan Hodges, former chancellor of the exchequer Nadhim Zahawi, and the Israeli government spokesperson for the prime minister's office David Mencer.
