Westminster is Back, after the round of party conferences across the country. And Next Week in Westminster is back to discuss who is brimming with confidence and who is not. Kemi and Andy might be comfortable after their conferences, but the same can’t be said for the Greens, Reform and the Lib Dems. Sam Tarry and Marcus Jones are joined by Matt Vickers, the Conservative Party Deputy Chairman, and Neal Lawson of the progressive think tank Compass, to examine the agenda for the coming months, including the budget, welfare and national security.
