What listeners will find here
Nick Timothy on prisons, policing and a harder line on extremism
Prisons, policing and Islamist extremism drive this live conversation between Michael Gove and Nick Timothy at Conservative party conference. It mixes policy arguments with political self-scrutiny, including why 14 years of Conservative government failed to draw the line Timothy now demands.
Badenoch’s Tory reset, the triple lock row, and the Greens’ latest flashpoint
Kemi Badenoch’s opening at Conservative conference drives this episode, as Michael and Maddie test whether her pitch marks a real break with recent Tory governments. They also debate the triple lock, Labour tensions around Shabana Mahmood and Andy Burnham, and the Greens’ move on Zionism.
A Blue Labour MP makes the case against his party’s liberal consensus
Jonathan Hinder discusses Blue Labour’s critique of recent “hyper liberalism,” arguing over class, borders and the common good. The conversation ranges from industrial strategy and tax fairness to immigration, integration, puberty blockers and why rejoining the EU would be a distraction.
Jeffrey Archer on his final novel, wartime what-ifs and a life near power
Jeffrey Archer joins Michael Gove to discuss Adam and Eve, his final novel, inspired by Hitler’s wavering plans to invade Britain in September 1940. The conversation ranges from British politics and the monarchy to class, regret and the House of Lords.
Burqas, BBC censorship and a war-game PM test in one combative Q&A
This episode tackles whether Britain should ban the burqa in schools or even face coverings in public, then turns to the BBC’s removal of Mitchell and Webb sketches and a TV war-game about a Russian attack. It mixes culture-war arguments with questions about schools, feminism, free expression and national defence.
