  • 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.

    As a lifelong Tory – once upon a time, anyway – this programme highlights why I am now a voter without a political home. This radical “far-centrism” (in the words of JCD Clark?) got Britain into this dire state to begin with. “We are all Blairites now,” they might well demur. Nor does Maddy’s rel... more

  • 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.

Debate: is Britain really broken?
Q: Is Britain as broken as Nigel Farage says it is?
Michael Gove argues that while there are significant problems, the rhetoric of Britain being broken is overly pessimistic and he believes in the possibility of uplifting the situation.
Q&A: Why Rwanda failed – and were the Tories serious about migration?
Q: Is the UN Security Council now redundant?
The UN Security Council still serves a function in providing a forum for diplomacy, although it faces criticism for the moral integrity of its member countries and for being influenced by national interests.
Q&A: Why Rwanda failed – and were the Tories serious about migration?
Q: Do you agree that the Conservatives would have saved 200 seats at the last general election if they'd sent one plane to Rwanda before calling the election?
While sending a plane to Rwanda might have helped stem some electoral losses, the broader failures of governance and public sentiment were more significant factors in the election outcome.
Q&A: Rory Stewart vs Dominic Cummings – the problem with political prophets
Q: Why are Labour going after our pubs?
The Labour party appears inept for imposing taxes on pubs while simultaneously pursuing road safety, suggesting a disconnect with rural businesses and pub culture.
Q&A: Rory Stewart vs Dominic Cummings – the problem with political prophets
Q: What did you think of Rory Stewart's comments about Dominic Cummings?
Rory Stewart criticized Cummings for being a conspiracy theorist but later acknowledged that Cummings was correct about the concerns regarding education in the UAE, reflecting a pattern of misjudgment by Stewart.
