The Spectator Podcast: what awaits the next prime minister?

As Theresa May hands over the keys to Downing Street, what burning injustices will she also hand over to her successor? Isabel Hardman writes in this week’s cover piece that there’s nothing funny about the question – there is a series of hard decisions on domestic crises that the May government has put off for three years. From social care, to housing, to energy, HS2, and rising crime rates – the real question for the Tory leadership contenders isn’t who has the balls to deliver Brexit, but who has the strength of character to sift through that scary in-tray. To understand just how serious the situation is, as well as who – if anyone – might solve them, Isabel is joined by Alex Morton from the Centre for Policy Studies, who used to work in the No 10 Policy Unit, as well as Hugh Pyms, Health Editor for the BBC, on the podcast.
