In this instalment of the Reaction podcast, we feature editor Iain Martin talking to Maggie Pagano about the decline of Pax Americana, journalist and author Ruth Dudley-Edwards on the changing state of Northern Irish politics, and our new programme 'Press Review' - a roundup from the Reaction editors of the media that grabbed them this week. 

This is a special edition of the Reaction podcast. On the 6th of July 2021, Reaction hosted an event at the famous Garrick Theatre in London, with professor Niall Ferguson, one of the world's leading historians. In conversation with Iain Martin, he discussed his new post-pandemic book Doom and the state of global politics and economics. It was recorded in front of an audience of Reaction subscribers.

In this round-up of the week's Reaction YouTube videos, listen to Tim Montgomerie discuss the situation in Afghanistan with former MP Rory Stewart, Iain Martin and Tim analyse the rift between Boris and Rishi, and Iain in conversation with the FT's Simon Kuper about his new book 'Barca'. 

The Reaction Podcast is back! Listen to a round-up of this week's Reaction YouTube videos - from Tim Montgomerie talking to Caroyln Harris MP, to our new programme 'Press Review'. 

Maggie Pagano talks to Robert Halfon, Conservative MP and chair of the Education Select Committee, about why white working class boys and girls from disadvantaged backgrounds are being failed by a neglectful and muddled education policy, underachieving from early years in school through to GCSE, A levels and university entry. Halfon hits back at critics who have accused him of stoking a culture war because of  the report's reference to the spread of 'white privilege' terminology which the committee claims is holding back a generation of white working class pupils.

Iain Martin and Tim Montgomerie discuss the Euros - the feelgood footballing aspect of the tournament and the political shenanigans - and the G7 gathering of high ups in Cornwall. Plus the challenge facing Rishi Sunak.
