Not Another One episodes:

June 24, 2026 Is Andy Burnham ready?
The new MP for Makerfield took his seat in the Commons on Monday. By the middle of next month he will almost certainly be prime minister. Does he have a programme for government? Has he had enough time to prepare for the mountainous challenges ahead? Do the wider electorate know enough about their next prime minister? For everyone’s sake, the answers need to be yes. Here at least are the answers from our team.

June 20, 2026 Will PM Andy Burnham call an early general election?
The ascent of the new MP for Makerfield looks unstoppable this weekend. With the parties of the right divided, and the limitations of the 2024 Labour manifesto putting restrictions on Andy Burnham's ability to deliver real change, the NAO team explore the likely new PM's options. Not least, will he call an early general election? Can he win back voters and rebuild a coalition of interests on the left?

June 03, 2026 Will revulsion at the Nowak murder feed a divisive political fight?
The team debates Nigel Farage's call for "cold rage" and his accusation of two tier policing in the wake of the revelations about the death of Henry Nowak. Plus: is the second tranche of Mandelson documents damaging or dreary? And will the nation (and Brenda from Bristol) have to face another general election sooner than expected? Apologies for the sound quality this week - recording took place during Tuesday’s thunder storm and the team had to fight through sound interference.

May 27, 2026 What on earth was going on in the Scottish National Party?
With Peter Murrell, the SNP’s erstwhile former chief executive and husband of Nicola Sturgeon, now behind bars, our team look at the implications of an outrageous scandal.

May 20, 2026 Will Labour's leadership hopefuls grapple with the UK's real problems?
As new revelations about the cost and delays to HS2 stun Westminster, the team debates our failures to build. And as the Burnham and Streeting teams gear up for a fight the other side of Makerfield, will the face off deliver substantive plans? Plus: John Swinney is going on. The SNP government is going on.

May 16, 2026 Will Andy Burnham make it to Downing Street?
After a crazy week, in this weekend edition the team takes stock of how we got to a full blown leadership crisis in Labour. Will the most dangerous challenger make it in Makerfield's by-election? Do the explosive set of results from May 7 contain a wider warning than Reform's march across the North West? And perhaps Brenda from Bristol should brace for yet another one. Plus: politics and vitriol.

May 13, 2026 Why do British prime ministers have such a short shelf-life?
Reunited in the studio to compare notes in the middle of Starmer's leadership crisis, the team ask what has gone wrong in less than two years. Is this story of disenchantment a uniquely Labour one? Is it all about the electoral pressures on the party, Starmer’s mistakes, or has the UK developed an allergy to incumbents? Plus: Gordon Brown's surprise comeback under the spotlight.

May 04, 2026 What is behind the UK's transformed electoral landscape?
With a few reminiscences of past elections thrown in, the team debate a fractured voting public in the run up to May 7th. Are we a UK of "fed-up-niks" and does malaise spring from economics? How intense is the political fervour to left and right? Plus: the hard-to-decipher polling in Scotland.
