  • How The Energy Shock Helps Starmer Survive

    How The Energy Shock Helps Starmer Survive
    Apr 2 2026

    There's an arms race under way as the parties make competing offers to help with the rising cost of living. Is anyone cutting through to the voters?


    And as Keir Starmer's rivals consider whether to move against him after May's elections, Danny argues that the looming economic crisis makes it a bad time for them to act.


    We also find out why Sally introduced 'garish posters and loud music' to Downing Street, and Polly holds forth about barbecues.

  • How To Shut Down A Political Conspiracy

    How To Shut Down A Political Conspiracy
    Mar 26 2026

    Sally, Polly, Danny and Hugo discuss the conspiracies swirling around the theft of Morgan McSweeney's mobile phone. How did government work in the pre-smartphone era, when Tony Blair refused to use one?


    They also explore how political language is evolving (and whether it’s becoming dangerously loose), and imagine what’s more likely - a Lab-Lib coalition or a Tory-Reform alliance.


    Plus, the team settle a debate you didn't even know existed - chilled vs super-chilled.

  • How To Run A Shadow Leadership Campaign

    How To Run A Shadow Leadership Campaign
    Mar 19 2026

    Angela Rayner has fired the opening shot in the leadership race to succeed Keir Starmer, warning that Labour is 'running out of time'.


    We discuss the art of being on manoeuvres without being caught doing it - from Michael Portillo installing the phone lines, to Rishi Sunak's team secretly registering 'readyforrishi.com'.


    And, will any of the potential candidates - including Angela Rayner, Wes Streeting, Andy Burnham or even John Healey - actually be ready to go if the party suffers a heavy defeat in the local elections in May?


    We also give (unsolicited) reading suggestions for Keir Starmer:


    Sally: The Choice Before the Labour Party, RH Tawney

    Polly: The Man Who Planted Trees, Jean Giono

    Danny: Get In: The Inside Story of Labour Under Starmer, Patrick Maguire and Gabriel Pogrund

    Hugo: Guards! Guards! Terry Pratchett
