Not Another One

With this week’s guest Professor Anand Menon, Director of UK in a Changing Europe, our team assess the impact of the mega donations handed to Nigel Farage. Will Reform use it effectively and how will the other parties respond? Does it kill off the possibility of an early general election? Plus, the team explore Andy Burnham’s attempted reset with the EU.

After a torrid few weeks, the team hears Tim Montgomerie explain his decision to resign membership of Nigel Farage's party. We discuss the schism on the right of British politics and ask whether it is a gift to Labour. With a special return appearance from Steve Richards.

With Sir Keir Starmer’s shock resignation triggering a by-election in Holborn and St Pancras, North London, the team debate the new electoral threat to Labour from the “eco-populist” left. With special guest Thangam Debbonaire, ousted from her Bristol seat by the Greens at the last general election and now in the House of Lords. Plus: is Badenoch’s new Tory front bench a better line-up? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

It has been a long hot summer. The team debates how party politics impacts the national mood on energy and climate policies. Will heat and wildfires push us farther apart or could the PM manage an argument in favour of national resilience, on energy, defence and even welfare? Plus: what to expect when parliament returns.

The NAO team returns after a short break to find that Tim, suspended from Reform, has become the story. Meanwhile, manic Manc Andy Burnham tries to prevail through positivity. Will it work? Does any of it address the pressing challanges? Plus: NAO plans and another holiday wine recommendation.
