BBC Radio 4's Newscast is asking whether voters would back the Conservatives again, examining the party's standing after its heavy general election defeat and under its current leadership. The debate centres on whether the public is open to returning to the Tories as the Labour government's popularity fluctuates, and what it would take for the party to recover trust.

The Scottish baroque ensemble's recording featured in the station's afternoon playlist, with listeners following the broadcast via the station's now-playing updates.
