August 06, 2025 Has any party got a policy to stop the boats?
An intense political battle is being fought over August, normally quiet in Westminster. It centres on the small boats and wider migration issues. But amidst the conflicting claims and policy ideas the boats keep on coming. The movement of people is a global crisis at least as challenging as the crash of 2008. Are leaders in Britain and elsewhere even close to meeting it?

August 01, 2025 What is the role of uncertainty in politics?
Is UK politics obsessed with certainty in an uncertain age? The terms of debate often demand that politicians and even the media adopt a fixed position and argue from strong convictions. This weekend's episode explores the virtues of doubt and pragmatism during a period of tumult.

July 23, 2025 Do reshuffles make any difference?
As Kemi Badenoch conducts her first extensive reshuffle we explore the degree to which her moves will improve the Tories’ fortunes, or make them worse, with a focus on the role of Robert Jenrick. Plus, is Keir Starmer right not to conduct a cabinet reshuffle after his first year in power? Much agreeable disagreement.

July 18, 2025 Is Donald Trump's policy agenda winning?
The US President has shifted on Ukraine - criticising Putin and facilitating more weapons for Kyiv. Has the Russian leader miscalculated? On Iran, the US has managed to isolate the regime. Domestically, Trump’s opponents are still in disarray. Six months in to his second term, is Donald Trump proving his critics wrong? Or is America heading in a sinister direction?

And where does this shape-shifting populist threat leave Starmer and Reeves in their hunt for growth to pay for it all?
