    • Utilizing Boris Johnson's political capital for Conservative Party benefitsFormer aide suggests leveraging Johnson's strengths in campaigns and elections, while Trump maintains loyal base amidst legal woes, but alternative candidates gain traction due to baggage.

      Boris Johnson's political capital and popularity could be beneficial for the Conservative Party, according to a former aide. Amidst speculation about Johnson's future political plans and potential civil unrest within the party, Culver Ranger advised utilizing Johnson's strengths, particularly in campaigns and elections. Meanwhile, Donald Trump, the frontrunner for the 2024 Republican nomination, addressed supporters in Georgia, maintaining his loyal base despite mounting legal woes. However, political correspondent Conan Nolan noted that some are starting to question Trump's baggage and considering alternative candidates. The Conservative Party and the Republican Party face internal challenges, with the use of political capital and loyalty playing crucial roles in their respective futures.

    • Voices of the affected must be heard in investigationsEnsure those impacted by decisions have a platform to share experiences and perspectives, from COVID-19 inquiries to ethical business practices.

      The voices of those directly affected by significant issues, such as the COVID-19 pandemic and immigration policies, must be heard in investigations and inquiries. Dr. Salihaya Asan, who lost her father to COVID-19, expressed her concern that bereaved families have not been given the opportunity to give evidence in the ongoing COVID inquiry. Meanwhile, a group of MPs and peers criticized the proposed new law, known as the "stop the boats bill," for potentially violating human rights and treating victims of trafficking and slavery as illegal immigrants. These issues underscore the importance of ensuring that those most affected by decisions have a platform to share their experiences and perspectives. Additionally, the business sector offers solutions for individuals and companies looking to make ethical and cost-effective choices. For instance, Quince provides high-quality, ethically-manufactured clothing and accessories at discounted prices. And for businesses, Stamps.com streamlines mailing processes to save time and resources. These examples demonstrate that it is possible to make a positive impact while also being mindful of budgets and efficiency.

    Robert Costa, chief election and campaign correspondent for CBS News and a scholar at the Center for Politics this academic year, shares his approach to covering campaigns, elections and politics to help the public make sense of the complex issues facing the nation. “It can become a blizzard that's hard to follow," says Costa, "You have to report deeply and you want to break news...Unless it's breaking ground on the biggest players, it's important, but not THE story."
