  • Terrible interview

    Count how many times Riffini’s questions start with “it was the wrong thing to do but it’s working.”

  • Jeremy Hunt Interview

    Whilst I am not a Conservative voter I have always had a lot of time for Jeremy & this interview just confirmed my opinion. He is a really thoughtful man & think Conservative Party missed an opportunity when he wasn't made leader!! Brilliant interview & both Kate & Richard are both such calm & interesting people to listen to never abrasive but always get the information we want. Kate is also such a breath of fresh air on Times Radio with Stig. Proving interviewing doesn't have to be aggressiv... more

  • Flawed

    Good show with interesting content spoiled by Sir Richard Dearlove interjecting his politics into the dialogue and in particular on Brexit. It’s ironic that a former intelligence chief supports, as becomes ever clearer, one of the most unintelligent acts ever to befall Britain.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Why This Israeli Security Expert Abandoned the Two-State Solution
Q: Have you gotten any engagement on this from the White House, from the Jordanians, from the Israelis?
I have encountered considerable interest in the idea, but breaking through is not easy.
Inside Negotiations to End the War in Ukraine
Q: What is your view on the current geopolitical situation with Russia and Ukraine?
Putin's conventional forces are not as strong as believed, and his reliance on foreign arms indicates vulnerability; the West holds the stronger position and must leverage this to prevent further Russian aggression.
Inside Negotiations to End the War in Ukraine
Q: Where do you think we go next?
We've seen Europe operate with determination and boldness that I've never experienced; this is positive and suggests we might move closer to the necessary diplomatic points.
Inside Negotiations to End the War in Ukraine
Q: How do you assess where we are with regard to any sort of agreement over Ukraine?
We remain very distant from any agreement and from any peace over Ukraine because Putin does not want peace; his goal is effective political control of the country, requiring more territory and more conflict.
What a Nuclear Physicist in Congress Thinks of Trump's AI Strategy, Iran's Bomb Threat
Q: What are your thoughts on Iran's nuclear program and its capabilities?
Iran already has the means to create a nuclear weapon with the enriched uranium they possess, and the political implications of this are significant for Middle Eastern dynamics.
