Reform's latest defector is former Tory Chancellor Nadhim Zahawi.Camilla and Tim reflect on the reasons behind Zahawi’s defection, whether welcoming yet another Tory could backfire for Reform, and ask the man himself whether he is a “has-been”, as his old party has been quick to suggest.They’re also joined by British-Iranian actor and comedian Omid Djalili, who’s been closely following the protests in Iran that could topple the regime.
