Not Another One episodes:

March 14, 2025 Will Trump make the UK fall out of love with America?
Are the policies of the new administration causing an anti-American backlash? And how will European governments respond? The Brits may need to recalibrate in spite of decades spend standing "shoulder to shoulder" with the US. Post-Brexit, is this geography re-asserting itself or a blip? Includes our top American cultural influences from movies to music.

March 12, 2025 Is it all over for Reform?
Nigel’s Farage’s insurgent party is mired in infighting with Rupert Lowe MP having had the whip withdrawn. Is this row a minor spat or does it point to a bigger battle over the future direction of the party? Is Reform going to struggle to broaden its support heading towards the next election? Or are the old parties so disliked by the electorate that British politics is in for even more upheaval from Reform and other insurgent forces? Our team discuss all this and more in the latest episode.

March 05, 2025 Trump crisis: Is Keir Starmer playing a blinder?
With events moving fast and the US President suspending military aid to Ukraine, Britain’s Prime Minister has been widely praised. Our team discuss his handling of the crisis and the British diplomatic effort to keep the US in Europe. What are the risks for Starmer? And why have the opposition parties taken such contrasting approaches to JD Vance’s controversial comments?

February 28, 2025 Is Trumpism contagious?
With Germany's election results highlighting the rise of populist parties across western democracies, the team take a broad look at the roots of the malaise feeding outsider parties of both left and right, including Reform UK. Is there common ground on how to address it? Or do new divides on issues such as net zero mean we are headed for even more polarisation?

February 26, 2025 Is Trump running Starmer’s defence policy?
Keir Starmer has announced an increase in defence spending ahead of his trip to Washington this week. The announcement would not have been made now if he was not meeting President Trump. Many questions arise from this. Is Starmer right to make the move before the publication of the strategic defence review in an attempt to please Trump? Is he right to cut spending on aid to pay for it? Is the increase enough? Where does the international crisis leave the “special relationship”?

February 21, 2025 What are the domestic consequences of the international crisis?
With the world changing fast and America’s security guarantee of Europe’s security in doubt, or over, our team ask what will it mean for Keir Starmer and Britain’s political parties. If defence spending has to rise where will the money come from? Will it mean more borrowing or cuts to welfare? Or a combination of both? How will voters respond? And will the insurgent Reform become the anti-war and anti-rearmament party?

February 19, 2025 Trump’s initiative: Peace in Ukraine or war in Europe?
Trump has made his opening moves to end the war in Ukraine by starting a dialogue with Putin. Zelensky and European leaders look on fearfully. The team discuss whether Starmer has responded smartly or recklessly by saying UK forces could form part of a peacekeeping force? Will defence spending soar in the UK and beyond ? Above all will Trump secure peace or trigger a wider war?

February 14, 2025 Is Morgan McSweeney too powerful?
A new book has caused waves by suggesting Morgan McSweeney wields more power than Keir Starmer. Is he freakishly influential as a behind the scenes figure? If so what does this tell us about Starmer? Or do all prime ministers depend on their chosen allies, advisers and gurus from Marcia Williams to Dominic Cummings?

February 12, 2025 Are politicians catastrophically at odds with voters?
With President Trump casting aside political norms and Labour promising "disruption" this week's episode considers the roots of disaffection and whether a radical upheaval is on the way. The team start out assessing recent resignations but it quickly becomes a discussion about political revolutions. They get so carried away that they never get to the promised section on Kemi Badenoch’s troubled first 100 days as Tory leader. It will have to wait for another time.
