Not Another One episodes:

August 22, 2025 What would you do if you became Prime Minister?
In our latest weekend magazine edition, the team are asked to imagine what they would do if “the ball came loose from the back of the scrum” and they won power. Which policies would they prioritise? From boosting housing, to tackling anti-social behaviour, expanding continuous vocational education and training, banning cycling on pavements and mandating the pint-sized bottle of champagne, Tim, Miranda and Iain design their manifestos. Plus, the coming constitutional crisis if Reform does win the election and has no seats in the House of Lords.

August 20, 2025 Why is Starmer's government so unpopular?
Is it just "the economy stupid" or is there a deeper malaise stoking impatience with Starmer this summer, so soon after his 2024 win? Our team ponders the context wonders and whether or not the failures are all Labour's responsibility.

August 08, 2025 Question time: Is there too much doom and gloom?
In this listeners’ question time episode, the team tackle a wide range of subjects. Is there too much doom and gloom? Is it time for ID cards? Could any government raise income tax? Why has the country forgotten Covid? And a listener asks: who are we? A good question.

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 30, 2025 How will Starmer navigate his difficult summer?
With numerous crises to contend with on both the domestic and diplomatic front, Downing Street is hunkered down, looking towards an autumn Budget and a party conference speech from the PM that minimises or moves past this difficult phase in the life of the government. What might work? Unsolicited advice from the team as we ennumerate all his challanges.

July 26, 2025 Who are the winners and losers at the end of the parliamentary year?
How did Labour’s first twelve months in power go? Will the recent rebellions fade away or grow? Our team consider where it all stands as Parliament goes into recess for the summer. We also ask whether the Tories can turn it around and assess the fortunes of the numerous other parties.

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.
