  • Best debate show

    I love this show, apart from the wasted fun question at the end, it’s a really good debate and Iain controls and is fair with the chance to answer questions for each panelist.

    Absolutely shambolic episode. Poorly managed and out of control. Just a shouting match.

  • Too much of same

    Rarely enough balance in this . Where are business people or commentators to inform or challenge to orthodoxy ? Same bland “rent a panel” of commentators often ill informed on key issues of day and second rate MPs too often with occasional interesting voice but all too rare

  • For an American, a great way to keep up

    Love the guests and the style of the podcast. Iain Dale is fair, but he doesn't let guests spin, he checks them as they are talking.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Andrew Bowie, Tom Hayes, Rebecca Reid & Natasha Clark
Q: How does the situation with Donald Trump and the potential for a Nobel Peace Prize reflect on the current political state?
His leadership has been vital in recent peace processes, thus he may deserve recognition, although it's debated.
Andrew Bowie, Tom Hayes, Rebecca Reid & Natasha Clark
Q: Is the US Secretary of State Marco Rubio right to say that today was one of the most important days for world peace in the last 50 years?
Yes, it's a historic day with hopes for peace, but we must remain cautious that it is just the beginning.
Amber Rudd, Leonie Cooper, Jovan Owusu-Nepaul & Dr Linda Yueh
Q: Did I pronounce it right? Wilmslow. With the news that the Manchester terrorist called the police to say he supported ISIS, has this country stopped taking the threat of the big Islamic terrorism group seriously now?
Leonie denies that the threat has been taken less seriously and stresses the commitment of security services while expressing sympathy for the victims.
Amber Rudd, Leonie Cooper, Jovan Owusu-Nepaul & Dr Linda Yueh
Q: What about this new embassy? I mean, what role does the GLA play in that, for example?
Leonie mentions the concern about the new embassy's location near significant infrastructure due to potential cyber attacks.
Amber Rudd, Leonie Cooper, Jovan Owusu-Nepaul & Dr Linda Yueh
Q: Amber, what do you think about that?
Amber suggests that the Reform party is trying to appeal to various bases without a clear strategy, and believes their approach is muddled.
