Which Conservative leader could be a problem for Keir Starmer?

Saturday, August 31, 2024 • Duration 13:30

The Tory leadership contest is still rumbling on, and we're lucky enough to still have weeks to go! In this Saturday episode, we assess which of the candidates would create the biggest problem for Keir Starmer. Who would be most frustrating at the dispatch box, and whose politics would be the most difficult for him? Who might be a slightly easier opponent? Megan McElroy speaks to Katy Balls and John McTernan, political strategist and former political secretary to Tony Blair.

Why has Starmer taken down a portrait of Thatcher?

Friday, August 30, 2024 • Duration 13:34

Keir Starmer's biographer Tom Baldwin has revealed that the PM has removed a portrait of Margaret Thatcher from No 10. The portrait was originally commissioned by Gordon Brown. Why has he bothered to get rid of it?

Prison overcrowding triggers emergency measures

Monday, August 19, 2024 • Duration 13:22

The fallout from the riots continues as the numbers being processed by the justice system have led to emergency measures being triggered by the government. What does this mean and, given the prison system was at breaking point even before the riots, what happens next?

Also on the podcast, the six Tory leadership contenders have found something they all agree on: opposition to Labour's proposed change to winter fuel allowance. What does this tell us about future political battles?

James Heale and Isabel Hardman join Cindy Yu to discuss. As Cindy mentions in the episode, the journalist Chris Atkins - who was jailed for five years for tax offences - appeared on The Spectator's food and drink podcast Table Talk to talk about his experience.

Produced by Patrick Gibbons and Cindy Yu.

Friday, May 24, 2024 • Duration 13:14

Both major party leaders are hitting the road today and campaigning in Scotland, which will be a major battleground in the coming election. Labour looks comfortably in the lead, but is that number accurate to what's happening on the ground? Cindy Yu and Katy Balls talk to Focaldata's James Kanagasooriam about their latest analysis.

Thursday, May 23, 2024 • Duration 14:35

Less than 24 hours after Rishi Sunak's surprise election announcement, we look ahead to the parties' campaigns. What has been the fall out? How have Labour responded to the shock news? And why didn't Rishi have an umbrella?

Is there finally good news for the government?

Tuesday, May 21, 2024 • Duration 11:14

The IMF has upgraded the 2024 economic forecast for the UK. What does this mean for the government and could more good news follow this week?

Kate Andrews and James Heale join Katy Balls to discuss.

Infected blood scandal was ‘no accident’, says report

Monday, May 20, 2024 • Duration 16:33

The Infected Blood Inquiry has finally concluded after a five-year investigation. This lunchtime, the inquiry’s chair Sir Brian Langstaff said thousands of deaths could have been prevented and the ‘worst ever’ NHS scandal, which saw thousands of Britons between 1970 and 1998 become infected by contaminated blood, could ‘largely, though not entirely, have been avoided’. Will the NHS change after change after this latest scandal?

James Heale speaks to Katy Balls and Isabel Hardman.
