This is as ever really good from Charlotte Edwards: she has a knack for drawing out an interviewee and letting them show you themselves for who they really are. And Danny Kruger does exactly that here, and doesn't come out of it as I suspect he had hoped. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...
‘America is British’. Heaven is ‘a socialist state’. David Attenborough is ‘anti-human’ – the startling theories of Reform MP Danny Kruger
He was a Conservative party big-hitter who wrote speeches for David Cameron and worked with Boris Johnson before he suddenly jumped ship. He talks family, flags and why Nigel Farage is ‘top dog’

There wasn't a £37bn Covid testing contract. And Dido Harding was never handed a contract, she was head of NHS Improvement who was seconded to run Test And Trace. And the total amount that Randox was paid by the NHS was 133 million. But you're right, Matt Hancock WAS MP for Newmarket.
Newmarket MP Matt Hancock gave a £37bn Covid testing contract to Jockey Club director Dido Harding, who subcontracted it to Grand National sponsor Randox, employer of Tory MP Owen Paterson, whose late wife chaired Aintree racecourse. That's how the Tories handled the pandemic.
