A Lawyer, Not a Leader
Helen Lewis and Armando Iannucci return after a short break to reflect on Badenoch's latest PMQs, and look at what makes a good political attack, and why the bad ones don't work.
Comedy writer Armando Iannucci and journalist Helen Lewis decode the utterly baffling world of political language.
This week, after a well-earned week off, Helen and Armando are back to break down how political attacks work. After Kemi Badenoch landed a blow on Keir Starmer calling him 'a lawyer, not a leader', we look at what makes a political attack potent, and crucially, what makes them flop.
