Inside Briefing with the Institute for Government

The Only Way Is Sussex


Listen Later

Will the reverberations from Harry and Meghan’s interview with Oprah Winfrey change the Monarchy? Is this a passing PR crisis or an existential moment for the Monarchy? And how do you carry out an inquiry into an institution as impenetrable as “the Firm”? Plus, as schools return en masse, can we rely on the £37bn Test and Trace system when inquiries have shown it to have made little to no contribution to the fight against COVID? And is the much-derided 1% pay proposal for NHS staff just Boris Johnson’s next U-Turn in waiting? 

This week’s special guest is CNN’s Luke McGee


  • “It’s an institution in crisis but it’s also a family in crisis.” – Cath Haddon
  • “If you look at polling around Meghan and Harry’s generation, they do think it’s absurd to bow and curtsey to your grandmother.” – Luke McGee
  • “If the Government thinks a 1% rise is sufficient for the NHS, it will have to work hard to explain how that’s going to help NHS recruitment.” – Graham Atkins


    Presented by Bronwen Maddox with Cath Haddon, Alex Thomas and Graham Atkins. Audio production by Alex Rees
