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?

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.

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.

April 29, 2026 Are prime ministers too dependent on their top advisers?
After Morgan McSweeney’s first public appearance - in front of the Foreign Affairs committee - we explore the dependence of some prime ministers on their chiefs of staff. Why do they make themselves dependent even when the dependency can lead towards their doom? Plus, did McSweeney emerge as a more complex figure than his caricature and where does this all leave Starmer?

April 21, 2026 Will the Mandelson saga do for Starmer's premiership?
After high drama at Westminster, the team debate the low politics that seem to bedevil decision-making at the heart of the government. Has the PM's famous ruthlessness backfired? And how vulnerable is he to a potential challenge after the May 7 elections? Might Scotland provide a twist?

April 16, 2026 Is Britain in peril because of Starmer’s complacency on defence spending?’
The former NATO Secretary General and Labour peer, George Robertson , has accused Keir Starmer of being complacent in relation to defence, arguing Britain’s national security and safety are in “peril”. Is he right? Plus, Reform and the local elections.

Warning: apologies for the sound quality on Iain’s recording. Do not be alarmed. He sounds ill but that is the result of a problem with the microphone. Please enjoy the rest of the episode and normal service resumes next week.
