Episode Appointments of contention
What is the difference between a spad and pad? How should people be fast-tracked into big government jobs? And is Labour going about this process the right way – or committing a series of unforced errors?
With the new government on the defensive after a string of eyebrow-raising appointments to civil service roles, ConservativeHome’s Henry Hill joins the podcast team to make sense of the row – and explore where Keir Starmer and Sue Gray might have questions to answer. Plus: Does Rachel Reeves have any money to spend?
Presented by Hannah White with Alex Thomas and Jill Rutter. Produced by Milo Hynes
