Anushka AsthanaHOST
And we're hearing it from elected senators, elected congressmen, and of course, all the way up to the president.
Anushka AsthanaHOST
The one thing I just was reminded of the other day was when Zach Goldsmith ran a campaign against Sadiq Khan in London.
Anushka AsthanaHOST
And a lot of people felt that there were racist undertones to that campaign.
Anushka AsthanaHOST
And it made the outcome of that campaign even more consequential.
Russell WarfieldGUEST
It was mainly sort of upper middle class, former Tories, and the most notorious figure, the most interesting one probably, is a guy called Teddy Goldsmith, who was the...
Russell WarfieldGUEST
Ooh, is he the uncle? I believe he's the uncle of the former mayoral candidate, Zach Goldsmith, and the Richmond MP.
Jonas Patrick MarvinHOST
Right, okay.
Russell WarfieldGUEST
So he's this hyper-rich financier.
Michael GoveHOST
... and again, it would be naive to read across too literally or too casually what's been happening in France with what's happened in the UK.
Michael GoveHOST
So, you know, Zac Goldsmith is no Jean-Luc Mélenchon.
Michael GoveHOST
Nigel Farage is not a, despite his friendship with Jordan Bardella, is not a Le Pen figure.
Michael GoveHOST
Any too casual or facile a comparison would be wrong.
Tim DonovanGUEST
Run quite a good campaign and reverse what had happened the previous two occasions and actually got the Liberal Democrats, albeit narrowly, into third again over the Greens.
Tim DonovanGUEST
Sarah Olney, obviously, that was a sort of almost sort of iconic victory for her at the time, wasn't it, in Richmond Park against Zach Goldsmith, who stood himself once for... for the mayoralty.
Tim DonovanGUEST
And she has the business brief and all the early indications are that that's where she would try and focus her energies on business.
Tim DonovanGUEST
The Greens is a completely unknown, isn't it? I always thought that Zach Polanski would go for it and think this was a brilliant platform for his talents.
Tony GrovesHOST
We joked about Burnham.
Tony GrovesHOST
Right now as we speak, there's a by-election and I sadly want, I think the, if the polls are right, Zac GoldSmith will lose, the Labour candidate will win.
Tony GrovesHOST
Um, the, the establishment will look at this as more evidence that the Burnham bounce is real.
Tony GrovesHOST
Um, and the wave that was pushing on the left for, for more change might dissipate, um, because [laughs] because the Tories have decided that they're, you know, they, they, they've, they've picked, like, they, they have a leader who's, like, 10 times more popular than the party in Kemi Ba- Badenoch.
Nathan Parsad-WyattHOST
All, all eyes really and, and all the conversation in London, uh, Conservative circles is now about the London mayoral contest.
Nathan Parsad-WyattHOST
And for the first time, uh, since 2016 when Zac Goldsmith was the candidate, I think there's a feeling that the Conservatives are taking the contest very seriously.
Nathan Parsad-WyattHOST
So you've had a number of people throw their hat into the ring.
Nathan Parsad-WyattHOST
Um, Festus, who's currently a Westminster city councilor, he, uh, fancies his chances.
Nick RogersGUEST
to leverage the platform to get himself and his message more exposure.
Nick RogersGUEST
He was able to connect with the government minister, Zach Goldsmith, and I believe that they were able to ban shark fin soup in the United Kingdom.
Nick RogersGUEST
I would need to double check that, but I'm fairly sure that that's the outcome that they had.
Nick RogersGUEST
He is an example of someone who was able to take the platform and really do wonderful things with it.
Mark AdderleyHOST
... as there always is on the left.
Nadia SawalhaHOST
And so when, when, when this morning on Radio 4, Zac Goldsmith was accused of creating a monster-
Mark AdderleyHOST
Mm, mm
Nadia SawalhaHOST
... uh, with the party, I really took umbrage with that because I think that's right.
Nathan Parsad-WyattHOST
So maybe the two-party system isn't quite dead yet.
Angus Parsad-WyattGUEST
Well, I agree, and that the Greens really overshadowed, uh, their whole conference with this, this nonsense on Zionism and racism, and I think there's, you know, a lot of people would say that's a real problem for them, and I suspect Zac GoldSmith won't be, uh, winning the, the, the by-election that comes this week, uh, in Haven and St. Pancras.
Angus Parsad-WyattGUEST
So we shall see, but you're right.
Angus Parsad-WyattGUEST
It's been, I think, a good conference season for the two main parties.
Bernard PonsonbyHOST
I mean, yesterday, um, I was down in, in Richmond, which is a constituency, uh, in Zone 4 in London, which has, uh, gone between the Conservatives and, uh, uh, the Liberal Democrats.
Bernard PonsonbyHOST
Uh, Zac Goldsmith had it, of course, at, uh, one point for the Tories.
Bernard PonsonbyHOST
Jeremy Hanley, if you want to go all the way back.
Bernard PonsonbyHOST
But more recently, um, it's been a bit of a Liberal Democrat, uh, uh, stronghold.
