  • Quite wrong!

    Just mind-numbingly soulless, uninspired and insipid, not helped in the least by the frankly insufferable Maddy who really ought to ease up on the ceaseless pearl-clutching and frequent interruptions.

  • Excellent

    Struggling to forgive Michael for the lockdowns as one of the most intelligent British politicians, but this is excellent. His co host is very sharp. I just wish it were longer format. Thx

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Q&A: Is Rishi Sunak English – or British?
Q: What was your earliest political moment?
I remember the election of Margaret Thatcher in 1979, which was a significant moment, but it didn't initially inspire me to pursue politics.
Q&A: Is Rishi Sunak English – or British?
Q: Do you think the UK will experience civil war within the next few years?
It's a compelling thesis, but I wonder how that would change things; we have a higher level of wealth and organized army now compared to past conflicts.
Q&A: Should Britain abolish the monarchy?
Q: Is there real evidence that people tend to shift politically right as they get older?
Both speakers agree that there is evidence of this phenomenon, largely due to life experiences and milestones, but it may be overstated.
Q&A: Should Britain abolish the monarchy?
Q: Do you think a by-election is near with Dan Norris' arrest? Would Jacob Rees-Mogg be the conservative candidate and would he likely win?
Gove believes Jacob Rees-Mogg would be a valuable asset in the House of Commons and likely to win if he runs in a by-election.
Q&A: Should Britain abolish the monarchy?
Q: Given the shameless behaviour of certain members of the royal family, is it not time for Britain to change its relationship with the royals?
