Gone By Lunchtime: Do you get déjà coup?

An emergency response to an emergency showdown at the OK caucus.

Christopher Luxon has survived a vote of confidence in his own caucus, a lot like he survived a vote of confidence in his own caucus in April.

What was different this time, and how does it impact an election that is now less than 90 days away?

Toby Manhire, Annabelle Lee-Mather and Ben Thomas convene for a special edition of the politics podcat Gone By Lunchtime to weigh up the failed coup (if that’s what it was), where it fell apart, whether Luxon outsmarted the plotters, where it leaves his leadership, and who is likely to be the most relieved by the outcome.

(Note: this podcast was recorded before Chris Penk was sacked from cabinet by Christopher Luxon.)
